What you're missing is it's not what other people think, it's what you think of a game that matters as it's your money that's being potentially spent on a title. A "universal AAA" as you called it is great because reviewers said it was great? In order for a game to be great, you have to enjoy it and the game has to conform to what you want, at least to a certain extent. what a reviewer loves or loathes and bases their grading on won't necessarily conform to what you enjoy or dislike.
Reviews should be used to get an idea of what the game is about but not to be used to determine if a game is "AAA" or not based on a few points of score difference. Averaging reviews which use different grading systems written by reviewers with varying game preferences into a single, tidy number does nothing but oversimplify and create flame bait for the console wars. stop looking for some definitive measure of game worthiness and realize the distinction of greatness lies not with reviewers but with the gamer and what they truly enjoy playing.
