The reason they didn't have any winners this year at least is that both of their biggest games were competitive multiplayer games with no story. It pretty much doesn't matter how great your game is; if it doesn't blow us away with a great story or incredible depth it's not going to win GOTY. Mario Kart and Smash are still just Mario Kart and Smash.

And Bayonetta? Way too niche.

Aren't those stupid reasons though? 

Wow, insulting much?

It doesn't matter if they're stupid reasons if that's how the general populous feels.  They're not going to go, "I don't think Mario Kart or Smash should win GOTY, but it's because of stupid reasons, so I'll vote for them anyway!"
