I just thought of another benefit of starting with Java: the Java compiler produces error messages that are WAY more informative than for example gcc, and also when your program crashes, the Java stack dump is pretty handy in finding out where things went wrong.
Also, thinking about game programmin, a big portion of cell phone games are coded in Java ME. So it is not really that bad of a choice to enter game programming.
