What is your definition of AAA game? I believe Minecraft was created by 1 person (or at least started). I consider Terraria to be a AAA game and that was made by 3-4 people.

In the parlance of the industry, AAA is indicative only of budget: "[the term AAA is] used for games with the highest development budgets and levels of promotion."[1]
