What are AAA games really? RETAIL GAMES

I see that as budget thing, not retail. For example, Star Citizen is at around $85 millions at the moment, it will most likely break over 100 - they are still far from final release date, so we'll have to see what promises they keep, but calling that game anything but AAA is folly.

Again, not talking about pc. Only consoles

Hm, don't really see you're making that disinction in your OP - so maybe you should, if you had that in mind.

Anyway, how about this then - both Risen 2 and Risen 3 are released in retail for consoles. Now, as someone who is PB fan and enjoyed them (though they are far from their best), I seriosuly doubt there is anyone out there that would call those games AAA - the budget is just simply not there.
