Well I don't know what their wholesale price is but its probably cheaper than $150 so Amazon isn't losing. In the game industry the standard wholesale price is $20 per PC title and the supplier may has a suggested retail price of $60 for example. Also, the retailer may make deals with the supplier to buy back losses. For example, Amazon buys 300k units but makes a deal with CL that CL must eat the loss on any sales below the wholesale price. Seeing how there is a large discrepancy between CL's price and Amazons I'd be willing to bet Amazon has a much lower wholesale price.
