What they need is a flagship that is untouchable for a couple of years.

Will WP8 be able to handle the Pureview camera? We don't know and right now Pureview on WP8 is just speculation. Time is also of essence. Now that Nokia's development teams have been gutted how long will it take for Nokia to put Pureview on WP8 even if it can be done? Even if Nokia does eventually release the Pureview on WP8 how much mass appeal does a giant megapixel camera have for general users? So the notion that a Pureview WP8 phone will save Nokia is grabbing at straws and the straws are illusory at the moment.
