I really think it would have been best for the market if Microsoft hadn't bought out Rare. Banjo, Kameo, Pinata, etc would IMO have been a much better fit for the Nintendo Wii. The word is out, the 360 is too unreliable (RRoD) and sensitive (disc scratching) for kids to own and it's most marketed features such as XBox Live and online market place are really out of reach for most kids requiring subscriptions and credit card usage.
I think more educated parents won't buy a 360 for their kids. IMO the PS3 is still over the top for parents to buy for kids as well (I expect a slimline product to be far more compelling), but there's potential if parents see use in features such as Blu-Ray movie playback for their family.
