TL;DR
- AYANEO sorely underestimated demand of its Pocket Micro 2 handheld console, with it almost immediately selling out when sales opened late last month.
- The company confirms that a new production run has been planned, and pre-orders are set to open tonight.
- Orders will ultimately start shipping closer to the end of August.
Tired of the boring days when a product would simply be announced, go up for sale, and then you’d… just buy it? In contrast, the launch of AYANEO’s Pocket Micro 2 has been nothing short of chaotic, starting by immediately selling out as a consequence of the paltry 100 units set aside for international customers. The manufacturer did promise that more would be on the way, though, and today it starts sharing details about how you can (try to) grab one from the new stock.
Here’s the deal: AYANEO has been able to arrange for a new manufacturing run on the adorable little Pocket Micro 2, the company shares on X. They’re not quite ready to go just yet, but the plan is to start shipping units out to customers sometime in late August.
