From what I see, the most important categories have Xbox domination

I think you mean EA/Respawn domination. So if Titanfall was replaced by Gears, you would still say it was Microsoft domination? MS doesn't publish Titanfall.

I see a X1 video game. There is no PS4 version announced. Simple as that.

Again, TitanFall is also on PC. The demoed version at E3 was run on PC too. Game Critics should take into consideration the platform the games are actually playable on at the show, seriously. You can't judge a PC version and give it all the awards and call it a console version only to have the console version in another show  being inferior (not saying console version of Titanfall will be inferior, necessarily) it's the correct thing to do. If you can't demo your games in actual console hardware, then what are they nominating exactly? PC games?  Yeah, pretty much that's what they did.
