No it wasn't. Can you name all the game of the year awards Wii Sports won last year?
Considering the best game nominees from the previous Game Developer Choice Awards (Gears of War, Okami, Oblivion, Zelda, and Wii Sports), I predict:
-Mass Effect (GOTY)
-GTA IV
-Super Mario Galaxy
-Assassin's Creed
-Halo 3 (even if Call of Duty 4 is more deserving)

"Gears of War won the last one. What's interesting for those people that say graphics matter, the five games that were nominated were: Gears of War, Oblivion, Okami, Wii Sports, and The Legend of Zelda: Twlilight Princess. Notice that three of those games were widely criticized for bad or last generation graphics."
Okami's graphics were widely criticized? According to that link, Okami won Best Character Design and Innovation, and was also nominated for Game Design and Visual Arts.
We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai
It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps
We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick
