Highly unlikely, even though the game will be amazing for sure. I can't really see a jrpg like XCX winning the goty. The westernized Bloodborne has a much higher chance of winning. Possible candidates are bloodborne, tw3, mgs5, batman and halo, considering how a goty must have other requirements other than a good meta, like having pretty good sales. Also, among the listed games, bb and halo won't probably win because they're exclusives.

Didn't stop The Last of Us...

Depends on what you mean.  If you mean the VGAs, it lost to Grand Theft Auto V.  Also, while they did win the majority, the 200 number includes a ton of dinky little publications. If you limit it to noteworthy publications, it didn't dominate as much; there were a number of GTAV and BioShock Infinite GOTYs.

Still won more than any other game. Besides there were other examples of exclusives that won plenty of GOTYs that others mentioned as well.

True enough.  There's nothing stopping an exclusive from winning.
