I define games in "want" and "dont want". anything else I dont care.

Exactly, if I want to play a given game I couldn't care less about the "difference" between a AA and a AAA title, and I certainly wouldn't decide to pass one up just because its metacritic score was .2% below some arbitrarily defined value for quality.

Thanks Soriku my error. To busy making a list of DS games I want and forgot it was Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days.

AAA games are system sellers. They make you want to get the system.

@OP

Whoever says AAA is based on sales alone needs to smack themselves. Carnival Games sold MILLIONS, Unlimited Saga (WORST GAME I'VE EVER PLAYED IN MY LIFE....EVER!!!!!!!) sold over half a million....dare I say, Superman 64 sold well?
