Microsoft: Put Xbox One vertical 'at your own risk'
The problem, according to Microsoft, stems from the Xbox One disc slot. While the Xbox 360's disc tray was capable of either horizontal or vertical use, the new slot was designed with horizontal configurations in mind.
"We don't support vertical orientation; do it at your own risk," said Albert Panello, senior director of product management for Microsoft's Xbox division. "It wouldn't be a cooling problem, we just didn't design the drive for vertical. Because it's a slot loading drive, we just didn't design it for both."

Had my 360 vertical for all of about 5 minutes since I have had it. And in that 5 minutes it managed to screw up a copy of GTA IV. Now I will never put a console vertical again.

Ya I agree I never used my xbox 360 vertical. So this does not change how I think of it.
