The Wii may be the most popular system for children, but it is also the most popular system for adults (and the most popular system overall) so your conclusion that they will buy an XBox 360 when they grow up is flawed ...

In fact a more realistic assumption is that the children who own a Wii today will buy a system from the next generation (or the following one), which may or may not be produced by Nintendo, not that they will buy an XBox 360.

 

I wouldn't be so sure that the wii is the most popular system for adults too. No one knows which of 3 consoles is most popular for adults for sure. :)

Could be that my conclusion is flawed, but you can't be sure about that either. :D

 

The sales rate of the Wii alone would imply that the Wii is more popular among more demographics than any other platform, although you're correct that it can not be claimed that any platform is more popular with specific demographics without further information.

From my personal experience I would say that the demographic breakdown is as follows:

5 to 13: Wii
13 to 21: PS3/XBox 360
21 to 30: Fairly equal (with a large number of multi-console owners)
30+:Wii
