A380 Vs 747 Production

I read a very interesting statistic in Flight today.

In its first year of production after initial deliveries, Boeing delivered 100 747s.

In the TWO AND A HALF YEARS since the first A380 deliveries, Airbus has deliverd just 23.

Will they EVER be able to produce the aeroplane at a commercially viable rate? And if they can, how many Airframes would now constitute break-even for the program?
