XBox... in a circle.... lol
Definitely Ilegit.
I was refering to high budget tittles expected to sell millions when I said AAA games. I've never played MH so I can't really tell, but for what I've watched, it must have costed a big budged to produce and maintain with the online servers and all of that. And if it still doesn't qualify as one, MH4 will for sure.
And it's not just CoD that needs to disappear, its the whole shooter genre that needs to go. It's been slowly taking over other genres or bending with them, to the point that most big games, if not all, that come out today have a combat system built around shooting. Since this is a proven to sell formula, it just takes any chance of new and innovative ways of playing to be developed. It's defintely sad. There's also the issue of how these type of games can affect violence in our society, I know taking the genre out wouldn't fix that, but I strongly support the idea that damn it would help.
I'm confident if the shooting genre disappeared, many of the issues you're worried about that make you want to kill the industry would disappear. It¡d be one great first step definitely.

In Japan, sure, but they never have to localize it. I'm happy that they do, of course, but that's not the discussion here.
