This is clearly a "loss-leader" sales strategy.

Rob,

Loss-leaders are to get people in a store so they also buy something else that is more profitable. Profits are not a concern here. Also, lost-leaders is offering something at a price that the competitors to not offer. That is not the case here. I believe this is just to help show better revenue numbers.
