It sure sounds like MS did a slopy job (again...) designing the console. I mean, this thing is so huge that it wouldn't look good or be practical to put it vertically either way, but warning us that putting it vertically can damage the console not because it can fall to the side, but just because something will pop inside is worrying.
@Kowenicki - all my consoles stand vertically, this helps save space without building massive pyramids of hardware, so your theory sure isn't true. Additionally many consoles just look much better this way. Wii, PS2, X360 - horizontal is no competition. Wii looks like a regular poor DVD player if placed horizontally, not like a revolutionary piece of hardware it is.
Wii U is a GCN 2 - I called it months before the release!
My Vita to-buy list: The Walking Dead, Persona 4 Golden, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, TearAway, Ys: Memories of Celceta, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, History: Legends of War, FIFA 13, Final Fantasy HD X, X-2, Worms Revolution Extreme, The Amazing Spiderman, Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate - too many no-gaemz :/
My consoles: PS2 Slim, PS3 Slim 320 GB, PSV 32 GB, Wii, DSi.
