The awards are voted on by journalists, not fans, so the games favored to win are the ones that woo the most outlets, not the ones that sell the most copies. They're correlated, but if a staff of game reviewers is holding the game that sold a third as many copies in higher esteem, it can still win in this show.

It's a separate tally.
