Surely, you can't be so completely clumsy with your right hand that you can't operate a device like this. Maybe I'm taking my experience as a gamer for granted, but aside from writing and the obvious issues of strength and preference, I have no problem operating a device with my right hand.
I just don't see it as a stumbling block, more of a pebble you can kick away...hardly an inconvenience, I'd say.
Not that I want to get on a "who's more left handed" battle, but my right hand is virtually useless when it comes to single use activities (plus I can't figure out how to get out of the opening screens on the new Zelda, but that's probably because I'm just slow).
I *could* learn to use a controller right handed, but why should I? That's the beauty of proper design- it doesn't require compromises for the user.
