This is probably another Engadget troll, as they probably know Java is a very popular programming language/runtime, and many games, even high performance ones, use Java. One reason Sony would use it (besides the massive cross platform multivendor support, and the fact it's free) is that it provides a secure sandboxed runtime that prevents, by default, access to local storage, though you could access the net for storage. And yes, I do use Java, but for hospital software.
