I'll chime in and add my view on it: you are wrong.
Not in the sense that Nate can't be wrong, but in assuming he is an expert to get predictions right. He 100% knows people leaking very specific things to him.
He will call in advance the day of the announcement of a Nintendo direct and when it'll happens more than a week before than anyone else and get it right 100% of the time. He definitely has internal contacts.
It doesn't mean all his contacts are as reliable as the best ones, but plans also change inside corporations and failed leaks can be real even when they don't happen.
His track record is so good for so much time now that he is one of the very must trustwhorty leakers this days, I would only put the most reliable journalist, Jason from Bloomberg, above him in the scale of confiability. When Jason say something it's 100% of the time going to happen, even if it doesn't sound like it, it'll happen. Nate is the closest to it we have for leakers.
I personally always believe him, not saying you should, but there as the reply started, the guy is definitely in contact with very reliable sources, on that nobody should have any doubt.
