AAA to me speaks more to the production budget/value than it does just to marketing.  It also speaks to the expected reception of the game.  I think games like Splatoon, and this year's release of Ratchet and Clank, are games that would fall out of that category despite being high quality games.

Isn't marketing part of the budget though?  Or at least the bottom line?  Xenoblade X wouldn't be considered AAA because it has the opposites of games like Splatoon, MK and Smash.

If there's a way to define triple A games more factually, I'll digress.

Of course it is. Why would marketing of a specific game not be in its budget? Although, the amount Nintendo spent on Splatoon advertising was pretty huge. So, it might be more expensive you might you think.
