This is correct, no customer wanted the A350 as it was planned - a costly failure.
Funnily though, this is another parallel between Boeing and Airbus:
Boeing had to cancel the 'Sonic Cruiser' project (trying to counter the A380 by putting more emphasis on speed than space) because *meeep* no customer wanted it. That's why they finally developed the more conventional (slower) B787.
