All pr hype aside, how awful is the nintendo online ecosystem going to be... No way it's the store or matchnaking will work on par with ps3/360/720/ps4

Do, please elaborate for us the answers in yrou crystal ball that inform of you such.

I havn't concluded anything, I simply said that until such titles are announced for the system I have absolute no reason to believe the system will have strong 3rd party support. Emphasis on the word "strong 3rd party support" having 6 month old ports will not suffice, upgraded or not. The wii had similar support at launch with ps2 ports with tacked on motion controls. As I said in my post, my concern is whether the system will recieve the next big thing, the games I mentioned are the ones recieving the hype. As of right now the system has none of these. 

Also don't forget that Treyach also supported the wii with their COD titles (Infinity Ward did not), so Black Ops 2 coming to the wii U doesn't mean much in regards to the system being strongly supported by 3rd party's.

In Regards to your 4 points, realise I'm talking about very big 3rd Party Devs. If they wanted Dev kits,  they would 100% have them, if they needed more, they would have more. This Wii U is no longer in prototype stage, its coming out next month and Nintendo have been handing our dev kits since spring 2011. The only reason why Wii U versions of bespoke titles have not been announced are:

1. There is no intention to bring it to thw Wii U (bad news)

2. Developers are trying to work out whethe to bring it to the Wii U (bad news)

3. They're hoping to suprise people (Not a smart move)

The Wii U's future in terms of 3rd party support is at the very least, unclear. So to rephrase my initial point, I will wait till the stance of 3rd party becomes clear before I believe the Wii U will fend off the 720/ps4.

Wii 3rd party support at launch is nowhere near as strong as Wii U 3rd party support is.

Point number 4 in my points is the one you need to focus on most.   Even if they want a Wii U version, they simply may nto have the time or resources for it yet.  They could even have dev kits already and not have the time or resources to put them to full use.   The game egine, again, may not be ready.   ALL of your suggetions on why the Wii U hasn't been listed for thost 4 games are negative without you even considering any of the other very plausible circumstances.  Why?
