BBFC, PEGI, CERO, ACB ( Australia), OFLC (New Zeland), ESRA (Iran) etc, all have 18+ as the highest rating and they are allowed to be on systems. Why is the ESRB's so taboo?

Why is the distinction between "M" and "AO" even necessary?

M is 17+ and AO is 18+, M is allowed while AO is not allowed to be sold in stores or allowed on consoles or handhelds.

The first console manufacturer to break the AO wall will curbstomp a generation or two. All the more hilarious if it ends up being Nintendo.

NOT true, Leisure Suit Larry console versions, Indigo Prophecy, and a few other games were UNCUT in Europe with either a 15 or 18 rating, while the US versions were heavily cut for an M rating.

Glad some games come out uncut in Europe, and we have region free systems.
