About the java question i have something:
Kaffe (www.kaffe.org) is an open source  JVM (garbage collector, native
library, multitasking)
with interpreter mode or jit which work on some processor like i386, powerPC
and mips.
It support jni interface too.

There are already an implementation for PS2 plateform, with few modification
(few weeks of work)
i think you can adapt this JVM for game cube and xbox. But i don't know if
it's viable in term of ressource and speed...

And with EmbeddedJava (java.sun.org) you can import only needed class
library for your JVM.

Other JVM are available like Japhar (www.japhar.org)...

I focus on java scripting because it's largely know with some great tools
(debugger, IDE...)
but python and lua are pretty good and they are my backup solution.
