Jack Tretton started the presentation at E3 2009 with a joke about how Sony is the industry leader in press leaks, referring to last week’s leak of the PSP Go announcement. After some sales stats, he noted that 364 games are shipping this year for PlayStation platforms, with 35 of them being exclusives.

Kaz Hirai, Sony Computer Entertainment’s President and CEO came out next to officially announce the PSP Go. The new portable is 50 percent smaller and 40 percent lighter than the PSP. With built in wifi and a 16 GB solid state drive, it’s made for gamers to download and install games directly to the system. The system’s screen slides up, reminiscent of many cell phones, to reveal the controls. The $250 system arrives in the US and Europe on October 1st. All games from here on out will be available either as digital downloads or as UMDs, to accommodate both PSPs.
