I think they are probably banking on eventually seeing legislation to force adult into .xxx or .adult, etc. It's a big gamble on their part. If it happens they could get filthy rich. If not well who knows.

That sounds about right. If they want to sell they need to open things up fully and price competitively. When that happens premium domain values will plummet because there will be so many new TLDs. .Com may be king but sometimes the queen or prince will do just as well.
