-Conclusion is irrelevant. A failed jumbo facing difficulties to penetrate the market only imparts this market and not its competitor's products. The market segment is narrow so the effect might look devastating but they are not. Sadly Boeing has to hold its breath and wait that the smoke of Airbus failure fades away.
There is still a market for a plane like the 747.

-I would imagine it has a good future as a freighter.

-They tried that. Was dropped like a hot rock when Boeing announced the 77F program. Also lots of 747s that are more suited will be available.
Coke cans are the future for old A380s
