Point is taken but keep in mind EK and only EK got the 380s very very cheap. I am not going to pretend that I know what they paid for them but it has been spoken that they were not that much more expensive than a 777 hence the cost savings of flying 90 of the Big Birds around. Compound that with the non existent crew costs and cheap oil and the 380 is a dream for Emirates.
There has been only one 380 order from an airline since 2010. Unless Airbus streches the Beast (which they probably will) you will see the 380s orders dry up around 350 or so airplanes of which Emirates will have over 25% of the inventory.
