More appropriately: How many airlines/leasing companies are going to transform/cancel their A380 orders?
I suspect that Airbus is slowing the production down to keep the line busy until airlines decide on renewing their fleets. While the A380 only works for few airlines, they seem to work for them. I can see the big players ordering an eventual A380neo as replacements for their current fleet of A380.

I slightly prefer the 787 cabin over the A380. The A350 is still on my bucket list. But it's obvious that a newly designed aircraft is more comfy than an modernized design of the 90s, 80s, 70s or 60s (though the 77W and 747-8 have comparably quiet cabins too).
