The vertical stand was shown before the console released.

What the fuck does any of this matter? You still seem completely fucking Ignorant to the fact that yes, yes someone designed it to be standing up.

Hello? Anybody Home?

What I'm saying is can you confirm that the designer said "im going to create a console, it will be specifically a stand up console, my first concept drawing of the console will be of it standing up"

(well all know the console can be stood up but thats probably because Sony decided to include the vertical stand afterwards)

So the manufacturer explaining in the fucking instruction manual that it can be stood up somehow isn't confirmation that it was designed to be stood up? You also ignored it being stood up in the 1999 reveal.

It's also no more likely to scratch a disc than when horizontal, and the vertical stand was also shown at the reveal.

Don't reply further, because I am done wasting my time replying to your idiocy.

I know the manual says "you can position the console horizontally or vertically" but you did not confirm if the PS2 was created to be an upright console from the very beginning.

"For example Sony might say "The PS2 can be be stood upright, but it was created as a flat console from the beginning because upright can scratch the disk or cause the console to fall over"

So they just put a rotating logo on it and released an official vertical stand for the LOLs? What about the plethora of PS2 Slim packaging that shows the console stood upright?

And oh look, it's the PS2 shown in both orientations at the official reveal by Sony themselves in 1999.

You're also more than welcome to peruse the instruction manual and read the section detailing that you can position the console horizontally or vertically.. It even details the fact you can rotate the logo! Almost as if they planned for it to be stood upright...
