For emulation look into RetroArch. It is multi-platform both in terms of what it runs on and what it emulates (through "cores").

Within RetroArch you can use the dolphin-emu core to run both GameCube and Wii games. There are a multitude of cores for DS/3DS (as well as NES and SNES).

As for the PS3, the original "fat" PS3's with the silver trim are hardware backwards compatible with both PS1 and PS2 games.  Though they are a bit pricey one could think of it as buying three consoles.
