What's a AAA game?

Indie games are pretty much the opposite of that. I'm meaning in production cost, not quality.

"If I won the lottery, and I spent all that money just to make a game myself, it stops being indie? Can't an AAA game be indie too?".

Name a AAA game that is indie :O

 

Braid was funded by the creator, Jonathan Blow, during three years. I don't know if the amount of money he poured into it made it AAA, but he did spend huge quantity of monies.
