From : DualShockers and it's hilarious :

Looks like Japanese video game store owners are getting creative in explaining the power of the PS4 to their customers. One decided to resort to one of Japans most beloved anime and manga series: Dragonball.
In the picture at the bottom of this post you can see the peculiar billboard placed on the shops counter, as shared by Twitter user Kurage.
Heres a translation of what the sign says:

PS4: just how powerful is it?
If you compare the PS3 to Freezas first form (battle power 530,000)
PS4 is a monster machine like the fourth form of Freeza (battle power 60 million).
[8GB Memory] -> 16 times the PS3. Power: Can use the Death Beam 16 times at the same time.
[8 Cores] -> 8 Times the PS3. Number of programs that can be executed: The Ginyu Force is now 40 people.
[Memory GDDR5] -> 7 Times the PS3. Processing Speed: Will move seven time quicker.

While not all the data is technically 100% correct, its definitely a hilarious way to let your customers know that the console theyre about to purchase is quite the beast.

Genkidama if old

Thank god. Now I get it!

BLACK AMERICAN PSYCHO · Feb 19, 2014

DEAD although it would probably be better if they used on piece for comparisons.

Holy Order Sol · Feb 19, 2014

This is fucking hilarious. Everyone should do this.

It's over five millions!

Kikujiro · Feb 19, 2014

Amazing, especially the explanation.

Shengar · Feb 19, 2014

That multiple Ginyuu Force really got me

gundamkyoukai · Feb 19, 2014

Ahh DBZ still the best when it comes to power levels even after so man years .

Loris146 · Feb 19, 2014

Amazing stuff ahahahaha

BadWolf · Feb 19, 2014

Brilliant.

Sony should turn this into official marketing.

That reminds me: Have we seen a taiwanese animation about the next gen consoles?

The Wii U must be Krillin, who, despite having a temporary boost, never did anything significant.

MrCookiepants · Feb 19, 2014

PS4 sales to break records in Japan confirmed.

Mesoian · Feb 19, 2014

But they all got killed...mostly due to their own hubris...

"Huh, I don't feel that different"
"It wasn't very much"

Toad.T · Feb 19, 2014

Alright, if no one else is saying it, i'll be the first.

Wii U's power level matches Oolong's.

Naw, then we'd have more panty based games.

I think you mean Yamcha

SJRB · Feb 19, 2014

That's amazing. Also hilarious that they use Frieza and the Ginyu Force instead of Goku going super Saiyan or something.

Wii U is more like Yamcha. They don't do much but when they do something, they always fail at it.

PS4 -> Frieza
Wii U -> Krilin
PS3 -> Son Gohan
3DS -> Son Goku
Vita -> Piccolo
Xbox 360 -> Vegeta
XboxOne -> Tarble

lol

Ouya?

The Smoking Bun · Feb 19, 2014

Shouldn't the PS3 be Cell? PC is Super Saiyan God obviously

enanogrande · Feb 19, 2014

Sounds like GAF > Japan > GAF

not really but still xD

harmonize · Feb 19, 2014

Wii U is Krillin, Xbone is Piccolo fused with Nail, PC is SSJ Goku or future Trunks.

Hyunashi · Feb 19, 2014

Wii U Chaozu confirmed

loveable but weak

.

The Omega Man · Feb 19, 2014

The only true power unit measurement, it's a matter of time before the world adopts it as the official.

sajj316 · Feb 19, 2014

Amazing .. well done

Weak, but lovable. Has a hard time making a significant impact in a fight. Sounds about right.

No, Wii U is Vegeta.

emb · Feb 19, 2014

Only as strong as Frieza's final form? Meh, will wait for SSJ console.

Hah, me too. Got me good.

Died before he could even show off his training.

Panty Rheid Engine coming to WiiU secretly confirmed?

Ouch, considering Krillin's fate against Frieza...

Imm0rt4l · Feb 19, 2014

This IS my final form.

Protein · Feb 19, 2014

Sony America should get Terry Crews to explain how powerful PS4 is. That would be the best marketing move ever.

Power levels are bullshit

MilkBeard · Feb 19, 2014

If we're gonna go all out here, then I'm going to say that Xbone is actually Vegeta, while Goku is PS4. In the same range, but Vegeta will simply never reach the heights that Goku can.

OH my god, if Sony got Wieden + Kennedy to do their campaigns...bandares.gif

But they won't. Sony has finally gotten away from using super odd advertisements made by people who basically had no idea what they were trying to sell and have come up with a really strong campaign that's been working really well.

Still though. Terry Crews...

Hmm...

So blurry.
XBO is Yamcha?

Yamcha at least does shit. Failed shit, but shit nonetheless. Oolong is just worthless trash that saved the world once then mooched off his friends forever. And since I'm assuming that we're just talking about modern consoles only, it fits. Overall though, yeah I guess it's Yamcha.

Mesoian · Feb 19, 2014

MilkBeard said:

If anything, Capcom confirmed for Oolong.

Oh god that makes too much sense.

At least Oolong saw Bulma naked.

Unlike Yamcha.

Despite dating her for years.

Then she had enough of his shit and ditched him for Fajita.

Zomba13 · Feb 19, 2014

FINALLY someone explains the power difference in DBZ terms.
I guess the PC is Goku then?

itsgreen · Feb 19, 2014

Cell would be more fitting.

Michelangelo painted the Sistine Chapel. Yabuki turned off voice chat in Mario Kart races. True artists of their time.
