How is AO the kiss of death. M is for 17+. AO is for 18+ BIG DEAL! One year difference. Sure this might turn away parents who might buy M titles for their kids and Rockstar might lose a few thousand sales, but what was everyone expecting? You have blood everywhere in the game and you can kill people by slitting through their scrotum.

It's the kiss of death since many retailers may not carry the game just because of the AO rating.
