This is incorrect: Super Mario Galaxy was nominated (for Best Console Game and Best Action/Adventure Game), it just didn't win.
Here are the nominations.
So it lost Best Console Game to Mass Effect and Best Action/Adventure Game to BioShock. Whatever one's personal preferences, I don't think many could reasonably argue with either one of those choices.
(But you are correct when you say "11 Xbox 360 games FTW!")
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
