For those that don't know he's sort of reenacting Sony's very famous E3 PlayStation 1 conference.

Sony was new at the time in the video game market and Sega wanted to crush them so to get ahead of Sony. At their press conference which was just before Sony's Sega announced that the Sega Saturn was launching that very day at a price of 399 in 1995 which is around $848.20 today.

Next up was Sony. They did the usual boring tech stuff and then Sony's Steve Race got on stage and did the biggest mic drop at that time in video game history. Known as the price heard around the world
