The world's most powerful console
Sony's slowly starting to ramp up the hype train for the PlayStation 4 Pro, starting with this uber-cheese 80s commercial. The clip, which is tangentially related to Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare's DayGlo-donning zombies mode, describes the device as "the most powerful console in the world" – which it is, of course.
While this is pretty funny, we're sure that it just signals the beginning of the Japanese giant's push for the brand new box.

Why didn't they get Jeremy Clarkson to voice the commercial with that tagline?
Really , this commercial made me laugh! Back to the 80s Great, I'm looking forward for others !
LMAO!!!
Microsoft smell my cheese
Smell it you mother!
Mike Myers or Keanu Reeves should've been in this commercial.
Most powerful dedicated home console. Even then in what respect? RAM usage? CPU (pfft)? GPU?
Most powerful console though? Steam Machine. Yeah it didnt sell but it holds the mantle. And before you say but its a variant of it, and its basically a PC. So is PS4 Pro.
I just cant buy into the marketing of this thing being exciting when PS4 was such a let down. They will really need to convince me on PS5.
The world's most powerful console* get it now!
*for about 9 months
@BowTiesAreCool Like any piece of tech, then?
Another day, another pro article. Maybe instead of making claims and cheesy commercials they should be showcasing exactly what all this "power" will be capable of besides an already obsolete 4k upscale and a few resolution/framerate bumps (IF the developers decide to do them)
i need to get my sega genesis.ps pro and Sega genesis is all I ever need.
sega genesis does what nintendont.
@BLP_Software Steam machine is pc that's using off the shelf pc component.
@Napples Read/watch digital foundry?
Why they don't make any more Sega Mega Drives? I would buy it instead of that precarious PS Pro.
@get2sammyb most, yeah!
@wiiware Do you think that's a good alternative to say, sony putting up as many comparison videos and features as they can before launch? Because i don't. Most people aren't going to go out of their way to DF. Putting up a series of 4K comparison videos on youtube would be a much better use of marketing money. Nonsense commercials aren't going to move units, it's only going to make for a daily boring pro article.
Zombies, snooze.
That is BRILLIANT Shame they show COD tho, Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Show me a PS4 Exclusive instead
@Napples Sony doesn't dare making 40m+ original ps4 users angry, that's why they kind of vague explaining pro performance. And every ps4 pro news is not boring to me
Gotta love that retro goodness.
@BLP_Software have you noticed that you're kind of like the boy who cried wolf? Initially your anti-ps4 posts used to generate a lot of attention but now fewer and fewer people can be bothered to come to your aid / engage with you?
And by the way, to say you're let down by a console barely half way through its life-cycle is both narrow-minded and short-sighted. So, well done. You still got a few people to bite.
