don't create games in java, just. dont. Once you get comfortable with c++ start learning the openGL api. this is a low level graphics library that you van use as a stepping stone into the new vulkan api(essentially openGL^2). now if you want to develop from pc to console that's going to take a bit of rewriting code. I'm not familiar with console game making so I can't weigh in much there but I'd imagine there's a little extra work you have to do. but if you really want it determination will carry you. Good luck!

Work with a game engine.Unity or unreal game engine.Also u will be needing the knowledge of photoshop so that u can create or import your own game objects.Animation is also a vital tool for performing character animations when keys are hit. C++ will be needed obviously. Also if u want a platform independent game then you should code in java.
