I can certainly see why a team would use 40 controllers or more in a year. I still don't see the need to purchase all 40 at one time, when demand is at it's peak and supply is still an unknown.
To large teams' credit, I'm many of them would re-sell or donate spare controllers to in-need teams
if there was a shortage, but I don't see the need to contribute to a
potential shortage.
This is probably all useless conjecture, though. Like I said, I doubt there will be a shortage like there was with the Talons from CTRE. I'm just keeping the possibility in mind.
