It will take more than a few more functionality to make WP8 competitive with Android and ios. Right now it is still playing catch-up unless MS has something spectacular in store which it hasn't announced yet.

I would be very surprised if it can gain more than single digit market share in its first year and it won't be enough to keep Nokia alive.
