Alot of criticism is going towards WP because it doesn't have the best specs ever, doesn't have 8 inch screens (Ever heard of POCKET SIZE!!!) And Microsoft does need to work on those things.
But let's be honest. WP probably isn't going to dominate the high end market any time soon. So, what they need to do even more than they already are, is drill the low end and mid range market to force those lag droids in full retreat. But to do this, MS needs to target US prepaid carriers! Why are they ignoring those markets! Around 25 percent of mobile buyers are on prepaid(US)! They need to go to Virgin Mobile and Boost and flood the market with Nokias and HTCs. Just think about a buyer comparing a $200 lumia 520 to an Android... No competition, they would choose the WP, because it won't take a computer scientist to use, and will work well! (If they can use them hands on) Not many Android OEMs are worried about the low end, but if WP starts to get the low end and mid range , you can bet it will roll over to the high end.
