You can't compare the A380 to the 787. Airbus and Boeing went in two different directions. Airbus went big to carry huge loads of passengers whereas Boeing decided the future was in a lightweight, fuel efficient, long range plane that will carry 200 - 300+ people depending on cabin configuration. Even 2+ years late to market, the 787 has Boeing's highest number of pre-orders and probably more than any Airbus ever had.
