Microsoft's director of product planning for Xbox, Albert Penello, revealed to GameSpot at the Tokyo Game Show,
We don't support vertical orientation; do it at your own risk. Penello says the risk comes not from ventilation, but the disc drive.
It wouldn't be a cooling problem, we just didn't design the drive for vertical. Because it's a slot loading drive, we just didn't design it for both. However, Penallo states that Microsoft's figures show that 80% of Xbox 360 owners lay their system horizontally anyways. Xbox One is scheduled for launch in North America and Europe on November 22, and in Japan in 2014.

You don't know who I am? Well sit back because my story is a beautiful tale of power and integrity, a captivating experience and ingenious story.
When I was sent to prison for a crime I didn't commit, I signed up for the weapon X program where I got some acid stuff in my eye which caused me to go blind except for whenever I shout the word, "SHAZAM." I was part of Project: Rebirth and given an indestructible shield, however I had gotten bitten by a radioactive spider which caused my father Odin to banish me from my home, only for both my parents to get shot in an alley. And to top it all off, I was exposed to gamma radiation when my mother died and I was abducted from Earth by a strange blue-skinned alien, which gave me the ability to teleport, shapeshift, read minds, and squirt milk from my nose.
