They are not making money. The new version makes the old inventory obsolete so they're unloading it. Amazon buys thousands of copies from SM up front to get a big discount and sells them as they can. Usually they profit from this. But not when a new version comes out.
On the flip side, Amazon sold out of their initial consignment of PP2012 almost instantly and they had to double their order. I don't know the story after that, but I expect they ran out of those early, too.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
