Going by what people on this very site say (some whom are the same people here) games like SOTC, Just Cause, Detroit, Kingdom Come, Divinity etc... are not AAA titles otherwise a number of games on the Switch become AAA by default.

How are they not AAA titles (I already said that Divinity is AA)? How do they noticeably differ from other AAA titles? They have similar graphics, sound, amount of content, etc. as other titles that are AAA.

But Octopath Traveler for example is not AAA. Or are you saying that it has similar production values as Just Cause 4? Or what Switch games do you mean?

AAA according to people on this very site (some who are in this very thread) and definition is not graphics, content or quality it's purely a high mainstream and high budget which those games don't fall under, they're AA titles which is what I touched upon earlier and also what the person you responded to is highlighting. AAA releases are diminishing but it's not as much of an issue as AA titles are matching them blow for blow as far as the product goes.

If you're going to go by content, quality etc... then that means a whole host of Switch games as well are AAA.
