What the source is and how it's being reported. If Jason Schreier is reporting on something for example it's almost surely legit. There was a bunch of nonsense about the Switch but the hybrid system detail was so widely reported that it was basically all but confirmed.

Here is Jason "reporting" on the Nintendo Switch releasing in 2016 which didn't actually happen.

So again. How do you know which leak is accurate and which one isn't?

In this example you'd look towards the end of the article and see that he said he hadn't been able to confirm it with any of his own sources so it wasn't something he was vouching for. Shikamaru went into his high accuracy but the main point is what the source is and how it's being reported. If a console is launching in under a year and leaked details about it are being widely reported on then there's gonna be a lot of accuracy to it. As I said before anyone paying attention to leaks in 2016 knew that the Switch was gonna be a hybrid system ahead of time so leaks clearly have value.
