The FO3 Goty was out 12 months after the game's initial release. Skyrim's was out 18 months.
I think FO4's Goty will be out in November of this year, given the aggressive release dates they are announcing for its DLCs. The first is in March, and the next two following a month apart. So that's about 6 months from initial release to final DLC. That gives them 6 more months to slap it all into a GOTY edition for the Christmas 2016 rush.
Skyrim came out in November of 2011, and its first DLC wasn't out on the PC until August of 2012, so that's like 10 months right there. Bethesda really dragged their feet on Skyrim. Probably all that time spent getting the dragons to fly backwards... In contrast FO3 had released the last of its 5 DLCs in the exact same time frame, and got the GOTY out just a few months later.
