What are the primary programing languages involved in video game production?

10 points for most/best information. Thanks!

I should have specified. I am primarily interested in languages used with the next generation consoles (PS3, XBOX 360, etc.)

Baisc languages for Games are C/C++ in fact Visual C++ with 3D modeling softwares like 3D Max/Maya etc

Assembly language used to be common, but it has mostly died out. C++ is very common, flash is used for simple games.
Special cases require different tools:
Massively muliplayer on-line games usually use databases for the back end, they usually use SQL code.
Web based games are more likely to use flash or sometimes Java and various web scripting languages.

most probably C++, i seen many times on application forms that a person requires C++ knowledge.

The above answers are apropriate with respect to the game's kernel or engine. But if you're talking about the artificial intelligence behind the graphics, take a good look at LISP. (Then uncross your eyes... yes, it's that confusing.)
