@Ripper_TV I remember being leery about putting a Gamecube game in the Wii since the slot was much larger, but it centered it and worked fine.

@Sideways8_4ever what an appropriate screen name for this topic

If they can't design a console that can handle vertical orientation, would you trust their ability to manage cooling and overheating issues?

Panello stated that Microsoft discovered that "we found, interestingly enough, that 80 percent of people, believe it or not, have their Xbox [360] horizontally".

So they just ignored the other 20%'s preference. I like how MS keeps chopping off more and more of their potential customers.

The XBone is like a woman - better horizontally

" If your XBone stands vertically for more than 4 hours, please contact tech support"

This is symbolic of the XBone's flaccid performance

Seriously though, who stands their cable box on its side anyways?

The original design also had a 5.25 floppy disk drive but thankfully they axed that too
