Why? An A380 is a much more advanced, economical plane and frankly is leagues more comfortable to fly in.
Better than what? The fuel burn per passenger on an A380 beats the 748 easily. The flight deck of an A380 has commonality with an A346 too. Oh, and the small matter that VS has already ordered the A380 and presumably paid something in deposit.
