I'm not going to discuss which developers are better and which are popular, atleast on here its well known. Its just that the choices people make are based on which consoles they have and which manufacturer they like more, its painfully obvious. It gets in the way of objectivity.
Nintendo and Naughty Dog are popular and got the vote but they also have known massive fanbase on this site, and there are barely any racing game players here. I consistently see the likes of Polyphony, Criterion and PlayGround games getting shoved aside because people don't play those games, and I also consistently see RPG developers at the top.
There isn't any real competition here, you'll have a plethora of RPG developers, Nintendo and developers of Sony's best selling series going anywhere in this competition particularly Naughty Dog because they have a particularly rabid fanbase here and its predictable and boring. Some exceptions like Rockstar will make it. The results for the competition are pretty much decided already, because of demographics, but atleast it could be kept interesting by having developers in the same genre and of the same category as competitors so a variety of them make it to the next stage.

I agree with you that this site has certain preferences that probably aren't true of say, other forums, or casual gamers but ... it's a poll on this site? I don't know what you want to be done about that ...
I've argued a lot on this site about how objectivity doesn't really exist in the reception of media so I don't know what you want to be said about that. If by "objectivity" you mean agreeing with your opinion or the "critics" opinion then that would just be boring.

No I was saying the rounds should have focussed on a genre, so a round could be dedicated to racing game developers and other rounds dedicated to other genre developers. The big companies like Capcom, Bandai Namco and Nintendo could have their separate round as they make a variety of games.
The final result would still be the same of course but the process of getting there would be more interesting and it would be exciting to see less popular genre developers make it farther in this contest.
