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."

Who plays with theres vertical?
Everyone i know playes with it laying down & the only time i've had it vertical was when i was just moving into my new house then there was't enough room to lay it down, Also it seems to run better when its flat

Okay if they say so. I usually switch between vertical and horizontal because of my setup used to be and I did not have enough room to lay it vertical.

Not really a problem. Most logical people know that there's always a risk when putting a machine at a vertical angle...
