"The leaks about the 2 different controllers are indeed true. In general, this is a very good console and a new time for Nintendo to gain back support of third-party devs and core gamers in general."

Well so much for this leak, since those were debunked by the people who spread those 'leaks'

Tagging

But this leak isnt that abd because if Nintendo announces a direct in a few days we can confirm its real.

Saying a direct would be announced "in the next few days" is way too vague to be considered convincing if such a direct is announced. It's too generic, and mostly fairly predictable for anyone with no foreknowledge. Nintendo has a history of having a single teaser of some sort prior to the E3 when they reveal their new system. There's also need for a direct to cover some new Pokemon information prior to its reveal in CoroCoro (because it's unlikely that the first information reveal for Sun/Moon will be CoroCoro exclusive). They need to talk about the new features of My Nintendo and Miitomo, as well as talk about Star Fox Zero/Guard, Lost Reavers, and TMS#FE. And there's undoubtedly at least one more new title they want to announce soon.

So a new Direct announced in the next few days isn't exactly a particularly bold prediction. I'd suggest that it's maybe a 40% chance of it happening within the next, say, 5 days.

There are too many questionable things in the claim, including the part where the guy claims to be a dev in a third party, perhaps even indie, studio, yet somehow knows internal Nintendo information like when they plan to announce a Direct or what engines are being used by Nintendo internally, not to mention the name of the console. There's also no chance that they would know how much memory is being allocated to the OS itself, since it's not relevant to external developers - what matters to them is the memory allocation for games.
