Future of the A380

Not sure if right forum but this morning the Airbus CEO announced 3 new A380 firm orders from ANA ( a first in Japan) in addition to 12 for Iran Air , and discussion with some more "interested parties" . He also said that Airbus hoped more orders from the other Iranian airlines.
This combined with the fact that Boeing decided last week to halve its 747-8 production and probably stop it after the US Presidential order for AF1 replacements, is probably reshuffling the dices regarding the short term future of the A380.
