He he, I remember Airbus saying Boeing wasn't going to launch a large aircraft (747 size or bigger) since the A380 already dominated the market.

I am going to make a guess that we see the new 747-800 surpass the A-380 in orders from launch in a year.
The A-380 only has about 159 firm orders since launch, and the new 747-800 has 34 firm orders as of now.
That means, Boeing will have to get 125 firm orders of the new 747-800 to surpass the Airbus A-380 since launch of both aircrafts.
