Player 1 -- left or right?

OK, so here's a silly question.

Making a two-player 8-way-stick, 7-button, tball, spinner control panel.  Should p1 go on the left or right?  Ordinarily I'd say left, but tball/spinner games would almost naturally have left-hand on tball (I'm right-handed) and right hand on the right-hand buttons (which would be p2's buttons)

Of course, it doesn't REALLY matter because it's all reassignable, but since I have a set of red controls and blue controls I'd like 'em to line up in Gauntlet.  Which is still reassignable, I know...

Basically, it's a survey.  Do most people have p1 on the left or right?

DaveMMR:

I think most everyone puts Player 1 on the left.

RetroBorg:

It's got to be on the left, it wouldn't seem right on the right.

TalkingOctopus:

I have p1 on the left because for all fighters, player one always starts on the left side of the screen.

Apollo:

Got to be left.
