Boeing cuts 747-8 production

According to Bloomberg, Boeing has cut 747-8 plane production due to lower demand. I'm guessing Airbus are going to be seriously happy?

I just hope that Bosch don't halt nor cut their plane production because their plane is planing my hardwood furniture a treat these days and I really don't want it to cut nor halt!

Apologies read the headline Bloomberg put out wrong, But still how many A380's are produced per month? It just surprises me as many carriers have 747's reaching their limits and needing to be retired for example there's a few BA 744 aircraft that are likely to be retired when the new A380's arrive. Or is the market for the 747 dead now?
