Mmmmh. Too early to tell. I remember similar things being said about the 747 around 1970. There were also a handful of years later a lot of A300 white tails stored in TLS. Airbus ended up giving away those airplanes for (almost) free to Eastern. Both stories had a happy end.
The 380 is not a bad airplane as such. It just had the bad fortune to enter service right in one of the modern world's most severe crises. Give her another decade and perhaps the NEO.
