It’s not really “blaming and pointing fingers at Microsoft” if it really is their mistake. Microsoft accidentally uploaded the documents to the link that held public documents, the title and description makes it sound like FTC is running away from something they did.

I don’t see why this would be harmful to them. At the least, I could see that console sales drop for the next year while people wait for the refresh, but otherwise there shouldn’t be any consumer impact.

Although, the main thing they’re probably upset about is that people know their desire to buy Nintendo, which is a really bad look. I doubt that would get past anti-trust lawsuits anyway.
