There's no question there's an anti Nintendo bias for these GotY awards. Ultimately years down the road people won't remember who won GotY from what source, but they will still be seeing all the incredible scores Super Mario Galaxy 2 got on Metacritic and Gamerankings. Fundamentally there's absolutely nothing wrong with the game, it's probably the peak of 3-D platforming, and it evolves and expands the series every bit as much as Uncharted 2 evolved that series, or Mass Effect 2 evolved that series. I can see arguaments for not giving SMG2 game of the year because there were other amazing games; however seeing it, the highest rated game of the year hands down, as a distant third in GotY awards, shows that there's pressure to give the award to the big budget titles. Nintendo simply doesn't have a fair shot in this contest.

GTA IV didn't win the most GOTY awards either.
