It's obvious why. It's because Halo and MGS are both established and popular franchises. GOTY is not just crowning the best game, but also a popularity contest. It's same reason why games like XCX and Persona 5 don't really have a chance either. Could Splatoon win it? Maybe. Does it have a good chance? I doubt it.

Did Dragon Age sell all that well?

Dragon Age Inquisition was multiplatform and was defintely more mainstream than some of its competition like Bayonetta 2. I'm not trying to say that the best selling games get a better chance at GOTY, but niche games like XCX, P5, maybe Splatoon(?) have a hard time beating the more accessible, mainstream games.
