Who will do his best to encourage Oracle to invest some resources in gaming? There are almost no JVM on set-top boxes and ADSL boxes; as far as I know, only one video games machine uses Java (Odroid). It is still not possible to sell Java games on AppStore :’(
The big question is: Why can’t I run Java anywhere like I can run C code?
You know there’s only one real answer to that.

“You can’t run C code anywhere”?
Well… yes. Yes I can. Anywhere.

What do you mean? Java SE for Embedded can be used on MIPS and ARM architecture. J2ME is already used on a lot of mobile phones. Maybe using Sun’s J2ME commercially is too much expensive, this would explain why Google created the Dalvik VM.
Anyway, it is difficult to use Java for commercial games except on computers and mobile phones (excluding IPhone).
From a high level view, yes this is the case, dig a little deeper and you’d see that there are multiple versions needed for the vast amount of devices.
When I left 3+ years ago we did like 45 different groups of devices.

More like each vendor had their own ideas about realizing J2ME on their phones and Google is just the next one.

Java on mobile is a PITA. Very far from the write once/run everywhere concept.
If you want to sell your games, you need a LOT of portals (kinda like a publisher) to provide your games to the masses.
Not to mention the price ranges and margins available.
good luck with your decision ;D
Aww… good luck Chris!
