According to Airbus, the A380 has better seat-mile costs. If you have x cm² per seat and fill both aircraft up, then the A380 supposebly would be cheaper per seat.
It'd be like saying you'd pay less to operate an A320E and fill it with 100 seats then operate an EBREAR190... Makes no sence at all...
