Well, if the game is coming out in November, it's not like they can decide in June and have it ready by November, unless they did a majorly rushed job. 

Of course, it is possible that Nintendo wanted this announced at their conference and are therefore agreed with Activision not to have it mentioned till then, but that seems like wishful thinking.

Does it take long to port a game? I don't really have any idea, so yeah they might not have the choice.

I guess we will know for sure this week, but I don't see why how letting people preorder for every other console is a good strategic move on their part. It would need some sort of special content or unique play for the announcement to have any impact, and in the meantime more people are making the decision to buy it on some other console.

Well, if the game is going to be released on November 5th, it would have to be completed by early october.  That would be about 4 months.  This seems awfully quick, unless the Wii U is very similar to the PS3 and XBox 360 which it doesn't seem to be.

 

As for preorders, I don't think that's a huge deal.  Having a week or two less preorder time than the XBone or the PS4 doesn't seem like it's all that meaningful.  The bulk of preorders are going to come in September and October anyway, so it won't be a major loss.
