Which makes no sense considering that the Witcher III is on the XB1 and won game of the year,

 

This, this and this.

 

I didn't check but many times, the game of the year is exempt from all other awards categories. So, for example, if Tetris was GotY, it wouldn't win puzzle game of the year despite being a puzzle game.  Crazy but true!
