B747 v A380

Read some of the comments after watching the initial video. Claims by some that the A380 is so superior to the B747. Apparently not too many airlines think so. Orders for the A380 for 2014 were 15 aircraft and for 2015 down to 2. In 9 years since the first revenue flight only 179 have been delivered. As of December 2015 1520 B747's have been delivered. I don't think the A380 will ever get anywhere near the numbers or years in production the B747 has achieved.
