Will the AA space return and possibly boom once again with AAA prices?

What does AAA mean anyway? Probably the only thing one can learn from that moniker is the size of the money bag that was thrown at it. It doesn't say anything about how fun or innovative a game is.

It's also a typical 'western' thing. I never hear companies like Capcom or Nintendo use language like that.

Yes AAA always meant budget, it is literally a term from finance. Why that was adopted into broader meaning is unclear to me. Nobody used that to group movies.
