Well, not really as a major game element, but look at what happened with Hot Coffee... if it'd been some hidden 'extreme violence' mode or something, I just can't see it getting THAT amount of attention. It was because it was a sex minigame... forget that in the rest of the game you go around killing huge number of innocent people, running over people, robbery and murder, etc, that's all fine for 17-year-olds, but a (quite tame graphically) sex minigame? Now THAT'S going too far!
But yes, it's mostly self-censorship, not censorship imposed on later.
