I'm going to assume that having two products was not a mistake. If it was a mistake, then Poser 8 would have everything in it, wouldn't it? They would have abandoned the two-product strategy. Since they didn't, I'm under the assumption it was a great success.

Without sales figures to back it up, how can you conclude the two-product strategy is a mistake?

They are able to keep the price of basic Poser low for hobbyists. For enthusiasts and professionals who really feel they must have the additional features unique to Pro, they pay more, even double, right?

A single product, at a hybrid price point, would probably have decreased total revenues. Is there some other criteria you think should be the deciding factor?
