If you're seriously asking, technically, you could. However, I'd assume it's be a bitch to do so.

because of the amount cores on the ps3 and 360 it would be made difficult but if you could make a processor double up or have a computer with the amount of cores necessary then yeah but it would cost a bomb.

I doubt it. However, it could probably be done on a PC. The main issue is the in-built DRM.

I don't think this would've been locked if he'd just spared all that garbage in the OP. Could've made a nice tech debate.

The records already been taken.
Also, how would you be able to get the controller thingy to work for the Wii on the PS3, I imagine some heavy modding.

Well, I reported it. However it is true, that this could create such nice technical topic.

You may get Wii-like steering on X360 / PS3, but emulating X360 on PS3 / Wii, or PS3 on X360 / Wii is impossible. Wii's internals suck too much to open that kind of graphics, and PS3 has this Cell CPU, that makes it impossible for X360 to open games ONLY for PS3. Or vice versa.

Theoretically, given the relatively low power requirements, it would probably be possible for the 360/PS3 hardware to emulate the Wii. But that's about it, none of the other options are possible.

Because emulation involves running a software layer that imitates dedicated hardware, you need to be running it on hardware that is significantly more powerful than what you're trying to duplicate. While the PS3 and 360 are powerful, and are managing (in some cases) to emulate their predecessors, they don't have nearly enough power to emulate each other. The Wii emulating anything more powerful is out of the question.

Besides, there's nothing worth emulating post-SNES ;)

Also, it's never going to actually happen. Doing something like this would require an immense amount of skill and effort, making emulation of modern consoles increasingly unlikely for hobbyists (and legally impossible for professionals). There's not even a truly reliable emulator for the PS2 yet, even at the end of its lifetime, and newer consoles are more complex by an order of magnitude.
