Horizontal
Pros:Quiet Disc Drive Gamers who prefer a quiet disc drive when playing games, placing your PS4 in the horizontal position will give you that. Just think about the laws of gravity when placing the disc. You put less stress to the disc drive when placed horizontally opposed to the vertical position.
Provides More Cooling Now that every game console produces more heat than previous ones, it’s important for the PS4 to stay cool at all times to prevent the internal parts from frying or melting. If you want your console to get as much air to the inside, putting it horizontally will give the PS4 cool air as both sides of the PS4 have an intake vent.
Cons:Slightly Wobbly If you decide to put the PS4 in horizontal position, you will notice that it doesn’t that if you push down the side where the Sony logo is, it will slightly wobble. It looks like the side where the Sony logo is placed doesn’t have much of rubber to put it in a stationery position. The wobbly problem isn’t really a big deal, but can get annoying if you have OCD. To fix this problem, simply get a stack of thin paper/index cards/or post it notes and put it under the side where the Sony logo is.
Takes a lot space The amount of space the PS4 takes when placed horizontally has always been a problem by everyone who doesn’t have a wide entertainment shelf. IF you have small space to put your PS4, your best bet is to really put in a vertical position.
Verrtical
Pros:Saves Space If you don’t have enough space to put your PlayStation 4, putting the console in vertically is something you will need to consider.
Stylish Putting your PlayStation 4 in a vertical position makes your console look very stylish due to its design. If you want to show off your console to your friends and that led light that lights up when powered on, then put it in vertical position.
Cons:Risk of Tipping Over One risk that everyone needs to consider when putting your console in vertical position is tipping it down. If you have a dog, cat, or a little kid who loves playing around, there’s a risk that you will tip over the console and break something.
