Usually, game consoles and handhelds don't have a JVM installed. I don't see the point in porting (parts of) a JVM to these platforms for your games, especially considering the little benefit (if any at all) that would offer.

Ironically to what you mention, Java was designed with embedded devices in mind and particularly popular as game deployment platform for old phones.

Virtually any cheap phone (non-smartphone) comes with Java ME available. Nowadays you find Android and the millions of Java-based games on the play store.
