Why do "Hardcore" titles need to be rated "M"?

Nobody ever said that. Stop making stuff up.

no one says it explicitly, but typically you get lists like

GTA, Halo, Gears, God of War, DMC, Killzone, and the like whenever someone states what a "hardcore" game is.

 

That's because, coincidentally, 90% of popular games among Microsoft/Sony fans are M rated :P

And the Microsoft/Sony fanboys insist that there are no hardcore games on any Nintendo systems, so as you can see, they basically say that M rated games are hardcore, while everything else isn't.
