Promised by who? Perhaps kowenicki? I remember him saying that Nintendo will dominate Japan.

Metal Gear Rising not coming to the Wii U doesn't have anything to do with Platinum Games. It's Konami's decision; a company that has stayed clear of Nintendo home consoles for a long time now.

Anyway, I for one am shocked that a Nintendo console that is powerful enough to run any PS3/360 multiplatform title gets hardly any of said titles.

Developers feel too comfortable with the combined ps3/360 userbase. Really I blame Nintendo for not securing any big 3rd party titles for Q1, even if it meant financing it themselfs. If Tomb Raider, DMC, MSG Rising or Bioshock came to the wii U on time, I'm sure it would sell enough to convince 3rd parties thats ports are worth their effort. 

Instead 3r parties only have Assasins creed and COD. AC was late and COD has too strong of an emphasis on multiplayer.

Bioshock would have been the Ideal game to demonstrate that the Wii audience are hungry for Quality and mature 3rd party experiences.

Only a fool would pay for the same treatment others get for free. Third parties didn't need anything to start making PS4 and 720 versions of their upcoming games despite not knowing anything about how those platforms will perform early in their lifecycle.

Well clearly they gauged the reaction to Wii U from the moment it was announced. There has never been excitement for the systems and its specs don't necessarily warrant an upgrade for ps3/360 owners, at least where 3rd party titles are concerned. For the developers we are talking about ( makers of traditional core games), their audience lies in the ps3/360 owner... The Wii U has never been in a position to grab that market and nore is it in a position to fully realise their next gen ambitions. Its just in an awkward place... If Nintendo invested effort into showing 3rd parties that they can make money from the Wii U's early adopter then there would be more multiplatform titles coming to the system. In turn they would be selling more hardware. Despite being a fan of the Nintendo's 1st party titles I simply can't warrant spending money on a Wii U when I know that 90% of the games I want to play between now and winter won't be on the system.
