Are there financial results or other metrics that would show the contrary? While I agree with other posters that flying on the A380 can be enjoyable, why have there been no A380 orders in 2015 (from a quick internet search)?
Passenger demand and the related economics do not appear to support the business case.
There are already ample news articles predicting the doom of A380. Like I said last I read them no one wants it because it's not cost-efficient, and it seems like only Emirates orders are keeping them in production. Airbus definitely lost billions here.
