I do think Xbox deserved all of the 3 wins they got, Best Racing was clearly deserved by Forza, Innovation in Accessibility was also deserved by Forza considering the accessibility options on display, including the ability to let the game handle all car acceleration to cut down on finger fatigue from needing to hold down the spring resistance right trigger to accelerate and allow disabled gamers to play more easily. HiFi Rush clearly deserved Best Audio Direction considering the innovative use of audio in the game, including having the element of the game world itself move to the beat and tying attack sounds into the game's music.
Xbox additionally deserved to win Best Multiplayer on Diablo 4 but lost due to critics still being salty about the acquisition and critics making up 90% of the voting power in The Game Awards.
As for Sony, I do think they deserved to win Best Action-Adventure over Zelda, as Spidey 2 seemed like a more of a proper sequel than Zelda TOTK, which felt like more of a rehash of the first game from what I saw of it. But Nintendo has the most critic bias of the 3 console makers, there was no way Zelda was walking out of The Game Awards without a single award.
