I do find it a little interesting that Phil Spencer is ignoring the content of the leaks and instead just focusing on the fact the documents are out of date. I would imagine the contents of the leaks are likely still pretty close to accurate, even if plans have changed a little, as a result.
I also wonder if Xbox will use the reaction to the leaks to determine potential changes going forward (ie: reactions to the console being all digital, reactions to the next gen console processor, etc).
You generally don't want to confirm leaks as being true, so you'll either not say anything about it (this was an internal memo, not a public post) or you'll say something along the lines of "These things are subject to change and don't reflect the final product"

Almost certainly, make lemonade and all that, it can be very valuable feedback it just wouldn't have been worth telegraphing your 5 year plan.
