Kojima I think is just playing the politically correct card. There's no reason his next engine shouldn't be on Wii U if it's on PS3/Vita. The Wii U has a traditional controller and is likely more powerful than both of them.
Obviously he tends to side with Sony, and that's his perrogative.
I think though at least in Japan, he's going to be in the minority. I think the Japanese dev community is going to throw their weight behind the Wii U strongly (Square-Enix and Capcom in particular) because I think it's probably the last best hope for consoles regaining any traction in Japan. The quasi-handheld nature of the controller, the Nintendo franchises, combined with Dragon Quest X gives it at least a fighting chance.
I think Playstation 4 might do worse than Playstation 3 there. I don't see Japanese devs embracing next-gen development that well either, the budgets required are simply going to be too big for most companies I think.
