I remember reading that some older consoles with optical drives or hard drives could have issues after enough use, where changing from vertical to horizontal or vice versa, could lead to drive issues due to how the bearings wear differently depending on the original positioning. Sounded as though it was only a minor concern and didn't happen very often.
I've never changed a devices layout once placed and I'd guess that's typically the case for most people, so the possibility of having that issue seems unlikely in the first place.
Tolerances today might be tight enough that's no longer a concern, maybe, maybe not. Another thing to consider as a possibility if you change your consoles orientation.
