Actually, no. The market for A380 sized planes is only so big, and going after the A380 would have been a big mistake for Boeing. Also, the XWB has been redesigned after getting thoroughly spanked by the 787.
The new race will be to see who gets a super efficient 737 replacement out. That's worth billions worth of orders.
