And I thought terminology could not get any dumber.

Action AAA game? :D

I wonder what will be next... ZZZ?

Pfft, everybody knows you go from your A's to your S'es.

I always found the SS rank to be a bit worrying.

They sure need their self-pat on the back.

Maybe they mean, that the game wll cost 4 times as much to make, it will be 4 timeas easier to approach for people for haven't ever played a game in their lives, it will have 4 times as much DLC and it has 4 times less interactivity with 4 times more cutscenes?

Can't let the Nazis ruin everything. Just avoid making your SS'es little lightning bolts.

Thank god Harry Potter didn't have a lightning scar above each eye.

Games with a supersenior AAA tranche ( the first 10 minutes), a senior A tranche ( The next 10 minutes) and a junior D tranche ( the rest of the game )?

Repackaged B/C games given a complacency AAA rating (because these gamers are so dumb that you could sell them sh...t without them knowing ) ?

I'm sure the consultancy firms have a lot of ideas on how to recycle passé financial terms for the benefit of all industries ...

These industry buzzwords crack me up.

AAAAlan Wake III, due out in 6 years on the Xbox 1440 ?

I wonder if it'll be AAAARPG, pronounced as a word instead of as an acronym.

SSS = Sick Smokin' Stylin'!

AAAA games will also be graded on a different scale than ordinary AAA games. Instead of the traditional 85% - 100% scores reviewers will be able to assign scores in the 95% - 110% range to AAAA games.
