Lenovo has issued another statement about its upcoming Legion Go 2 handheld, and this time it has nothing to do with the backlash over sticker shock. Not directly, anyway—instead, the general messaging is that it was caught off guard by a flurry of preorders, and rather than make customers wait indefinitely while holding onto their money, Lenovo’s begun a wave of cancellations. »We know that many of you have been asking about product delays so we owe you an explanation. The truth is preorders for the Legion Go Gen 2 has substantially exceeded our projections, leading to unforeseen delivery range extensions. We are working diligently with our teams worldwide to fill these orders as quickly as possible », Lenovo stated in an AMA session on Reddit.Surprised? Lenovo stopped well short of revealing exactly how many preorders were placed on its website, only that it « substantially exceeded » what it was anticipating. It’s an interesting turn of events after some users scoffed at the MSRPs of the available Legion Go 2 SKUs in relation to handhelds like the upcoming ASUS ROG Xbox Ally and Ally X.
