Lenovo abruptly cancels some Legion Go 2 preorders due to overwhelming demand

Lenovo has faced a challenging week with the launch of its new gaming handheld, the Legion Go 2. The company hosted an AMA (Ask Me Anything) on Reddit, where it answered only 10 questions before abandoning the thread, leading to a backlash. On Friday, Lenovo announced that it would be canceling some preorders placed directly on its website due to overwhelming demand that "substantially exceeded" its projections. This resulted in "unforeseen delivery range extensions." While orders placed with Lenovo's retail partners, such as Best Buy, are unaffected, those who preordered the Legion Go 2 directly on Lenovo's website may receive cancellation notices. Lenovo has promised to respond to the AMA thread's questions over the rest of the month and stated that the device will be available again once inventory is replenished. However, the company's handling of the launch has been met with frustration from customers, and it remains to be seen whether they will reorder the device following this debacle.
