edit: NPD data from 2009:

Cross-Ownership*
According to the reports, among Wii owners in the United States (who represent 32 percent of all gamers), 14 percent also own a PlayStation 3, and 26 percent own an Xbox 360. Among PlayStation 3 owners (who currently represent 10 percent of all gamers), 42 percent own a Wii and 34 percent own an Xbox 360. However, among Xbox 360 owners (20 percent of all gamers), 42 percent own a Wii, but only 18 percent own a PlayStation 3.

*Note: Ownership refers to self or household ownership

Basically, what Pezus said. 2009 was when the Wii was much larger than it is today. It's likely that the Wii's presence has died down since then. And it's in USA.

 

But also, this merely shows how frequent it is for a person to own a Wii + another console. It does not say whether or not the Wii was the first console or the second console. 

Yeah, my assumption was based on personal experience which I haven't seen quantified ...

With that said, what the chart clearly shows is that it is very common for PS3 and XBox 360 owners to own a Wii. (Less than) 40% of Wii owners had another console, while 42% of PS3 and XBox 360 owners owned a Wii.

Note: "less than" because there would likely be people who owned PS3+XBox 360+Wii which would be double counted on the Wii.
