Source is reliable. They tested all consoles (X360, PS3, Wii) for about 45 min in every position. In both position they used same game (Motorstorm, Crackdown, Zelda) so no difference in strain. You should rather check avarage, min and max temperature than colours. (Purple on one pic isn't equivalent of purple on another one, check the legend on the left)
Horizontal Vertical
Avg. temp. - 25,33 deg C 27,86 deg C
Max. temp. - 36,97 deg C 55,69 deg C
Min. temp - 22,13 deg C 24,50 deg C
