There are Journals of Negative Results. This isn't really a fix, because people will still not publish negative results unless there's an incentive to do so. And there rarely is, because most negative results will be considered as boring (unless they disprove an existing, popular result).
What we really need is to decouple the publishing decision from the outcome. A way to do this is to use registered reports.
