People use it as a term for system seller though. Regardless of what it originally meant.

An AAA-title is to my knowledge defined through it's budget. So a game can be AAA, even it get's scrapped in development. Anyways, I don't give too much about this, as everyone decides for themself how much is a big budget. They should give numbers, how much is invested.

I responded this to someone who responded to me with almost the exact same thing. Yes I know it is defined through budget accordingly, but it is becoming a term for system seller and high selling game.

That's because when it's called AAA, it isn't called system sellers.

People say "That game is totally AAA" with the term "system seller" in their head. People say it and think system seller.

Came in hoping for Total Wars news, disappointing.

i liked Alien Isolation so i have faith in whatever they take on

Can't say I've ever seen anyone say that either (with exception to Pataar, obviously). I've seen plenty of debates as to where we draw the line between AA and AAA, but those debates have always centered around cost (and, to a degree, production value).

AAA titles are frequently system sellers, but that's usually because they're AAA (bigger budget -> higher profile -> more marketing/hype). The lack of development cost is why we don't refer to games like Minecraft as AAA, despite how many consoles its likely sold.

The more games the better. Glad to hear it! Hopefully it doesn't suck!
