Ooh, a reply directly from them on Facebook:
Well, it's on record then. I can be skeptical, but can't really know otherwise.

What now ?
Do we have to just wait ?
Or is cancelling order an option ?

Considering nothing's shipped, I'd be horrified if you couldn't cancel.
I suppose the risk would be they limit any more pre-orders, so you'd miss out when it does finally land.
It is up for pre-order absolutely everywhere, so you'd expect big numbers. Do they actually get the money though, or does it sit with Argos etc until shipping?
I'd assumed they'd rely on their reserves and investment to pay for engineering time and getting a process up to make the ASICs (quite a big outlay).

Thanks for the heads up. Just emailed to cancel. Will order nearer the time.

for those who have cancelled...hopefully not paid in advance...be interesting to see how this plays out

Well let's be fair. There hasn't yet been a 'full' swing. The broad knock-on effects are still revealing themselves as factories switch manufacturing and product lines close down. Ram might have been almost predictable but the impact on other products a few steps removed has been catching out huge companies.

Well, as they state it's only stopped the mass-manufacture, they should still be ready to show off working prototypes soon in theory.
Probably not a bad move to reassure people it's not the aforementioned phantom console.

I ordered at Amazon, so no money taken.
I guess I'll just leave it as it is and see how things progress.

I think the cost is in setting up the tooling for the die, but then reeling off small volumes is do-able.
But I suppose if this is all about getting a company to make ASIC then yeah, there won't be a prototype any time soon.
