Surprise! It's not the "PSP2." GamePro's Will Herring and IDG News Service's Martyn Williams are live at the Sony PlayStation reveal event in Tokyo. Here are the highlights:
They're dimming the lights and cranking up the awesome house music... looks like the party's about to begin.
SCE President and Group CEO Kazuo Hirai just took the stage.
He's very proud of today, and the announcements SCE has in store to celebrate the dynamism of this business.
They're playing a video last seen five years ago at E3
The video is "Cyber Society," a conceptual video glimpsing at the future of interactive technology
He says more than 80% of PS3 consoles are connected to the internet
Hirai announces PlayStation Suite to expand PS platform to smartphones, other devices

PlayStation games will be available on the PlayStation Store on Android devices
They're playing a video... introducing the "Next Generation Portable" device...
960 x 544 display, 3G + Wi-Fi, GPS, dual analog sticks, dual touchpad, SixAxis motion tech, front and rear cameras, microphone...
It looks like a wider, sleeker PSP that uses a flash memory card as its game media
NGP will be released holiday season this year

He's now using the NGP's on-board motion sensing tech to tilt the device, causing Drake to swing on a vine
He's aiming Drake's rifle with the on-board motion tech
Talking about NGP's new user experience -- Muneki Shimada

Using Little Deviants to show off the touch-screen capabilities -- using the rear touch-pad to alter the environment with his finger tip
He's pinching and pulling both the front and rear touch-pads simultaneously to stretch the playing field in real-time
Introducing LiveArea -- a spot where users will have access to new game info via the NGP
They're scrolling through LiveArea's UI -- games are readily accessible, as are social networking and Trophy functions
From LiveArea, they're accessing Hot Shots Golf Next DLC and game information
There's also a communication function, where you can see your friends' in-game activity, accomplishments, and purchases
Now, Near -- an application that lets you see who's playing what on their NGPs in your vicinity
Near syncs up with PSN ID information, and allows you to see gamers near you, as well as check their Trophies, library of games, and scores
He's inviting developers from Capcom, Sega, Tecmo Koei, Konami, Epic, and Activision onstage
We're going to pause here for a second and give you a good look at the games in a second post. Get a good look at the NGP console here.
