No. He explained this earlier this year. People don't pay him to give them numbers. They want "context" as to why those numbers will happen and what to do to optimize strategy. That's why he himself says time after time that his numbers aren't always correct and they don't have to be correct.
I think this report is a bit more nuanced than what Pachter said when interviewed. He always emphasized that the sole thing that keeps the X1 behind is the price. If it were even with the PS4 they would sell almost the same. (his words, not mine)
If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.
