the wii will be the future proof? Imagine that scenario, in 4 years, Nintendo came up with a console that can do anything the wii can do, plus having HD, plus having bluray, plus having a internal HD, plus some new marvel that ninteno could pull to continue to suprise the market. Then you put at $300. Nobody would buy a wii, not even as paper weight. The MS will try to pull the same string they pull this gen and will launch their console early( hopefully without too many deffects), letting x360 die like they did with the xb. The ps3 will be outdated, but not by that much. Sony will not burn a fortune again to pull a gold priced plataform at release. They will upgrade a little the ps3, put something like the wii remote (obligatoty for next gen) along with the old pad, Bc (hopefully) and lauch it at a resonable price. But the ps3 will continue to be viable. It will be cheap, will have a large library, and work as media hub, won´t have the ps2 legs, but will be better than the last gen second places( n64, GC, XB,...). After ps4, I think it will sell 10 mln in 3 or 4 years before the plug is pulled.
