I think he likely has some sort of source as he's been reliably able to call Nintendo Directs days before they happen for a number of years now, and he even leaked the exact day of Switch 2's reveal. The odds of him just happening to guess all that seem low.

Thing is, no leaker, even if they do have a source, is going to be 100% accurate cos their source may not be high up enough in the industry to know everything.

I would agree that it is best to take all leaks with a grain of salt, but personally I'd put a lot more stock in Nate's word than say Moore's Law is Dead.

And yet. He still gets stuff wrong... Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Making predictions and getting them right is actually relatively easy if you understand a few triggers.

Case in point... On this forum I predicted that NAND and Ram would increase in price a year before it actually happened. How?
Educated guess and seeing market conditions starting to change.

That didn't make me a leaker. That made me a "speculator".

Nate is using a similar tactic, difference with him is that he has specialized in Nintendo platforms, I am specialized in PC hardware.

Agreed.  The Pro, WWHD and TPHD were all guaranteed by people in the know....
