I should also add that while FFXV did manage to avoid true embarrassment against Hollow Knight, it still significantly underperformed its oracle prediction by a hair below 4.5%. So even in victory it looked terrible.

Funnily enough I think Hollow Knight does better against BotW because who the hell respect votes for FFXV over BotW? Even its own board had a poll where it got annihilated by BotW.

Uncharted 4 beats it for sure, Stardew Valley beats it for sure, DooM beats it very easily, Dark Souls III beats it very easily, Sun and Moon almost certainly beats it, which would put it in sixth for the year. That is almost the biggest fall for a GotY winner ever - FFXV is lucky that Modern Warfare 2 exists!
I agree completely

"I honestly believe that the dynamic at play was causing BotW to overperform; the juxtaposition of yet another perceived failure of the Final Fantasy series being matched against Zeldas modern magnum opus (and perhaps just magnum opus, period) was just too obvious to voters, and I think many accordingly rewarded Nintendo and punished Square. Id argue that Hollow Knight would have performed much better in FFXVs position, helping both games save face."

You're going to hear this again too, very soon.
