"Someone stupid at MS is probably equating the PEGI 18 rating with the AO rating in the US"

I could be wrong but to me this sounds like a problem with the PEGI rating system ...

From what I can tell the ESRB created ratings that were based on movie ratings and Mature is (roughly) the same as R-rated, and AO is (roughly) the same as NC-17. The problem is that PEGI doesn't have an equivalent rating which is a massive mistake.

What makes a movie NC-17 instead of R?

99% of the time sex. NC-17 movies are almost never ever ever put in theatre which means they end up failing. the MPAA actually counts moans, groans, and body parts shown in movies and randomly decides what is what. I stopped looking at what the ratings are years ago because its in fact, not regulated at all, and the people who do the ratings ( who are supposed to only work for 1-2 years tops) have been working much longer then that.
