Well from MS's current announcement, it seems that their multiplatform plans are a lot more limited than the leaks had originally indicated. Now it COULD be that they are reacting to the ridiculous fallout among their diehard fanbase, but more likely the details weren't set in stone and the leakers didn't have a full picture.
They've also made it clear they're still going to make more hardware. Now, this is good only in the sense it keeps Sony from just dominating the console market, but it's bad in the sense that we're stuck in the era of having 5 different versions of games locked to specific hardware for at least another generation, and I was kind of starting to get really excited at the prospect of "consoles" going away entirely.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
