99% of consolites won't even have such hardware. Majority of them are still on 1080p TVs with PS4/X1 and not even Pro/X1X. Hell many of them are still on PS3/360.

No way! The average consumer doesn't care about that stuff. Only audiophiles care about it or even really know about it. My wife has never heard of it and while my brother has, he knows no details of it. People buy playstation for the exclusive and not exclusive games.

Since many hardcore gamers are so graphic-focused, how many of them are considered audiophiles and care about great audio in video games? I personally feel that there is too much talk in System Wars over graphics and not enough talk about audio. There should be a balance of both, as video games are not just graphics but also audio.

Considering the Dolby Vision thing most people are likely to own is the latest iPhone, and it being unlikely people will be playing PS5 games on the iPhone 12 screen, I think it will be fine.

Gamers don't give a damn about sound. Almost none of them have speaker systems, which is why Sony didn't bother including Atmos.

Dolby Vision and HDR10 look very similar, according to Blu-ray.com members who I trust more about home theater stuff than users here.

Tell me about it, and the amount of joy they share about 120Hz... I would love to know how many of them even have a HMDI 2.1 TV.

Its all just bla bla bla with them, we have proven over and over again high end gamers are the ones with the best gaming setups even in their living rooms with their consoles.

These console gamers are running around with HDMI 2.0 1080P 50Hz 42" TV's and no speakers at all hyping up features that require $1000's in TV and Audio equipment but simultaneously crying over a $599 console.

They is dumb.

Also as a proud member of AVfroums for years and someone who had a projector room and now a OLED with Dolby Vision I can say from what information I know of HDR10 vs Dolby Vision does offer differences in quality but not due to them being different in processing but more different because Dolby Vision has stricter standards of entry for HDR performance, meaning that the HDR will just be better on a TV that supports Dolby Vision, the only exception is Samsung QLED TV's with Full Array Local Dimming... But even then there are version of shows on Netflix where the HDR10 version is worse than the DV version when it comes to image quality and how the HDR was mastered, which isn't a indication one is better than the the other BUT there are reason to get a TV that supports Dolby Vision.

I don't think YouTube timecodes work on Gamespot. Anyway, Mark Cerny saying they will prioritize headphones first, THEN TV speakers, THEN speaker systems.

It will have no impact. Most people don't give much thought to sound design/quality.

I think I have already replied to this thread LOL

Bur I think Dolby Atmos not being there might affect people as it is more of an industry standard already. If in a couple years Dolby Vision becomes widely available on TV's then it might play a factor as well. Overall even if they both are industry standards in a couple years I do not think they will have a huge impact on most people's decisions to buy or not to buy

Is that stricter standards for streaming platforms? The reason I ask is because someone on another forum just said they barely notice a difference with Dolby Vision discs but do notice a bigger difference with Netflix. If it's mainly a difference with streaming, then it doesn't really do anything for me personally, for I hate the quality of streaming anyway.
