That's the question I'm wondering. I had mine on the thrid party tray, it was one where you can put 4 games on one side, 4 remotes and nunchucks on the other side.
The first thing I noticed was the lack of the hole on the bottom, the second thing was that it doesn't sit in it very well. But it was a present from my girlfriend so I thought I'd use it....I noticed the Wii getting pretty warm, so I moved it back to it's regular stand and it's still a little warm, but not too bad.
So I'm wondering if the people who are complaining about heat are using the third party trays? If so, if you're Wii fails due to overheating, can you hold that company responsible?
Also make sure the Wii isn't sitting on top of anything else that generates a lot of heat, like setting your Wii on top of a home audio receiver/dvd player that's almost always on. Just set it back on it's OEM stand and put it on a shelf.
