You have complete freedom over the machine but you are burdened with not having any of the conveniences of an operating system. As far as I know video game consoles use more of a beefed up BIOS and simplified kernel system rather than an actual OS. I could be wrong, I haven't made any games or other software on PS2, GC, or XBox.
If you had to write them in machine code, couldn;t you (on your computer) write like a little conversion prog where created your own language and you convert this language into the machine code equivelants? Thats what id try to do.
