Is Windows Phone more of a walled garden than than iOS? Is the Xbox more of a walled garden than the Wii U? The argument is still complete hyperbole.
Windows Phone is more of a walled garden than Android.
"bigger walled garden than Android" I would agree with.
Most phone users want walled gardens: it's hard to get lost in one.
Um, what was the question?
Together they are.
I'm not sure I understand your point - can you please elaborate?
Together Windows, Windows Phone and Xbox are the "biggest walled garden on earth".
When you add "Windows" there it completely dillutes the argument because Windows on the desktop is far from a walled garden as a proprietary platform can be.
Those may be walled gardens, but they're not very big.
XBOX commands sizable chunk of a very lucrative market. If we have luck the console industry will implode soon because the current model is unsustainable, but at the moment XBOX is not not very big.
