I think A380 will be a success in the long term, the exponential growth of Air travel and along with a increasingly sophisticated passenger requirement will drive the demand.

Somehow, I don't think being herded into a flying cattle car with 800 other passengers is a desire, let alone a requirement, of the sophisticated air passenger.

The evidence is that it is indeed a better flying experience rather than the flying cattle car experience you talk about. Worlds leading Airlines like Singapore airlines, Emirates etc have put their money on A380 and you can be sure that these companies know how to invest their money properly.
