Yes the A330/A340 program was a complete failure (can't mention one without the other since it was the same program but you know that). Believe the 330 is the most operated widebody in the world.
ETOPS180 (which Airbus should have seen coming to be fair) killed the 340 (pilot commonality must have been another Airbus weakness for this type) as it did all quads.
