Some companies, however, are trying to create peace between the warring factions by introducing products that either side can use.

Take Qanba, for instance: The Chinese arcade stick manufacturer has announced a new line of ambidextrous sticks that can be flipped and reversed with the flick of a switch. Launching sometime next month, the "Q2-PRO Battle of Wits" can be oriented with the stick on the left or on the right, depending on how you were raised, and will be available in PS3/PC, 360/PC and PS3/360/PC flavors. No pricing information is available as of yet, but can you really put a price on world peace?

Dodger greatNew research conducted by Dr. Nick Cherbuin of the Australian National University suggests that left-handers could be superior at playing "fast computer games." Dr. Cherbuin has concluded that lefties' brains are wired more efficiently than their right-dominated counterparts, helping them to perform better at tasks that require processing in both hemispheres of the brain, including gaming.

Unfortunately, the study stopped short of a right-handed vs. southpaw LAN deathmatch. We remain decidedly unconvinced...
