That seems unlikely to be entirely true, or terribly useful. If it's selling to the Nintendo hardcore, then the Nintendo hardcore is, conservatively, several times the size of the Gamecube's base.
Perhaps it's simply selling more to people who don't want to play a sports game - women and families, say - or perhaps the idea of Madden on the Wii just isn't that appealing to Madden fans.
And less wealthy children ending up with the more expensive consoles doesn't surprise me. Brand loyalty and conspicuous consumption are both stronger in that demographic (compared to wealthier children), and poorer people in general are less likely to do all that much research into what accounts for price differences.
