Guess I'll be the Jizz_Beard and point out that a lot of people surely buy "mature" games for the tits and related scenes. Not to mention the blood and gore. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if most people that want this sort of stuff in their games are the ones that are below the age ratings.
On a side note, let's say that time travel was possible and that the same game was released worldwide twice; one time uncensored and one time censored to lower the ratings. Which version do you think would sell the most?

This isn't about what the content is, this is about the rating itself.

Well, that's just silly since the rating is based on the game's content and nothing else.
Still, I'm with your friend or whoever it is and firmly believe that an 18+ rating scares away less than it attracts.
Edit: As a European, this whole M vs AO rating is not something I'm very familiar with. Here we have 16 or 18+ and I have seen 18+ titles in all stores that sell games. If an AO rating makes a substancial amount of retailers avoid selling a game I can see why a higher rating would make sales decline.
