Seeing as how a 747-400 can carry something like 450 passengers, why do
you expect such a huge difference between it and the A380?

Hi,

A typical 747-400 carries 416 pax, the A380 555 - that's one third more! Max
pax are around 850 - now THATS a difference, don't you think?

That is comparing a 'typical' with a maximum.

Maximum for a 747 might be seen as the Japanese 747SR (short range)
could have 550 seats. The one that crashed after a bulkhead failure had
509 passengers on board leading to the world's worst single aircraft
disaster.
