A good example of why Sony Consoles always succeed.

This year if you look at reviews.
Persona and Horizon are great but haven't really been nearly praised as much as The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

Which is weird to me. I tried BOTW and I just didn't see the hype. Horizon on the other hand the story telling alone blows aways anything BOTW is trying to do. So many great and memorable characters.

Either way the most fascinating thing here is that Nintendo hasn't had a GOTY since Resident Evil 4. That's crazy.

It depends on perspective like your stance on BoTW. Nintendo has had plenty of GOTY worthy game's over the years since RE4. The Mario Galaxy games, the Smash Bros. games, Xenoblade Chronicles, Bayonetta 2, Zelda A Link Between Worlds, Skyward Sword, Metroid Prime 3, Super Mario 3D World, the Pokémon mainline games, Fire Emblem Awakening and Fates, Splatoon, Mario Maker, and even the exclusive 3rd party games like MH4U, SMTIV and Apocalypse, Bravely Default and Second, etc. Whether they win or not is besides the point. Having a list that the OP has doesn't take away from the fact that other games have won awards elsewhere or have been nominated.
