I will be surprised if Fallout 4 doesn't win more. MGS is a japanese game and most big english gaming websites are american, so its usually an american game that gets the most awards. |
Maybe that's for another reason as well though. To put it simply most good games are American games. Both Europe and Japan can put out some very high quality games, but they just don't seem to have the quantity of good ones that America does.

USA + Canada is much bigger than Japan. Japan probably makes more good games relatively speaking.
Splatoon (let's be honest, it would probably be 90% on metacritic if it was reviewed as it is now), Super Mario Maker, MGS V and Bloodborne are some of the best games this generation (and I'm just listing games that released this year). Xenoblade Chronicles X and Persona 5 also look promising.

Well when people are deciding which games to give GOTYs to they just look at all the good games, they don't start saying 'oh that game comes from a smaller country so we should give it bonus points'.

I'm just adding on to your posts because some people might misconstrue it as "Americans make better games".
But Japanese games are usually aimed at Japanese gamers and they do have different taste than Americans. So you can't ignore the bias when most GOTY awards are given by American sites.
