Fanboyism isn't the only factor here. Blockbuster games are at an automatic advantage because more people have played them than, say, less popular games like Alan Wake or the aforementioned Bayonetta. To really get an accurate depiction of which game was better-liked, every voter would have to have played all the games, which is far easier said than done.
Bayonetta is in my top 10 games of the year list, by the way.
