I was wondering if there is a better position for the Wii to be in while playing games for optimal Wii longevity. On its side or flat? Any opinions?

Nintendo has always said it's better horizontally. Over the years, it seems that functional problems have been more commonly reported by people who store the Wii vertically.

I've always used the stand thing.

The only problems I've had with consoles in the past have been due to overheating. That's why I keep my Wii on it's side.

Do you mean the stand?

I have my Wii horizontal as well.

Yep, I used the stand for a while, but then we moved the Wii to another room, and since then it has always been lying at its side.

I've never understood why it's so popular to position the Wii vertically. It's much more likely to get knocked over (even when using the stand), the cords of any GameCube controllers are in a less stable position, and it can get confusing trying to remember which way to insert the discs.

I have never set up a console vertically. The thought of it falling over is too scary to risk.

Mine was vertical until I lost the plastic thing from under the stand... Now it's horizontal.

Vertical, without the stand. It won't fit on the shelf with the stand, and it just takes up too much room when its placed horizontally.

it gets better internet reception vertically. my wii is far enough from the router to just barely get full bars; if i leave it horizontal it's 3 bars, if i put it vertical it's 4.
