Horizontal, as always.

Vertical is a bit of a kids bedroom thing isn't it?

Whether someone chooses vertical or horizontal depends on which of the (2) conserves more space with their current entertainment setup. Not all setups benefit from a horizontal setup. Mine does, but in the room I keep the Wii in it definitely benefits more by me keeping the Wii in it's vertical stand.

 

Edit -

Now, I was just thinking. If your reasoning is indeed true, what do they do considering a very large portion of gamers are kids? Doesn't seem like a very smart move now does it?

did you just try to turn a perfectly reasonable and motiveless statement about vertical being more popular in kids bedrooms into console war point scoring?

Now how did you come to that conclusion?

You insinuated that placing a console in a vertical position was a kids bedroom thing and I was only pointing out that that is not true. The first portion of my post is entirely reasonable. You also did not make a statement, you asked a question. I simply answered.

As for the edit, I do not see any issue with that either. I mentioned it to show the big flaw in your logic and that if it was true then it is a bad design choice.

 

Don't blame me for you reading it the wrong way. There is no console war thing going on here, just discussion.
