And you have the gall to blatantly assert that leaks are more accurate today?
Common, with this pretty quick and dirty list of evidence.. Who are you really trying to fool?

Rumors and leaks are bullshit and should always be regarded as such until we have actual evidence, not unsubstantiated claims.

Well if you pick stuff that suit your argument, of course. Cause, on the other side:

Nintendo NX will have Tegra X1 in it https://www.eurogamer.net/digitalfoundry-2016-nintendo-nx-mobile-games-machine-powered-by-nvidia-tegra

True

Nintendo NX will be portable, cartridge-based, with its own display and detachable controllers https://www.polygon.com/2016/7/26/12284342/nintendo-nx-details-handheld-console-report 

True

New versions of the Switch model would launch, with one being a "Lite" version without HD rumble and non-removable controllers https://www.wired.co.uk/article/new-nintendo-switch-models-2019

True

A new Switch would have ethernet port, better stand and better storage https://gametiptip.com/rumours-suggest-that-the-nintendo-switch-pro-features-usb-30-ethernet-ports-and-a-better-kick-stand/

True

A new Switch model would have OLED screen https://gamerant.com/nintendo-switch-pro-oled-screen-rumors/

True

You don't get it. - It doesn't matter how many rumors end up being accurate.

We still get a massive deluge of false ones.

And because of such, we will -never- be able to ascertain which rumors are fact and which rumors are fiction before an official announcement.
