That&#x27;s not the definition of predatory pricing.  Predatory pricing is setting prices low in the short term, in order to drive out competitors, so as to increase prices through market power. It has nothing to do with the level of overall profits.  Profitable businesses can engage in predatory pricing, and unprofitable businesses can charge high and uncompetitive prices.<p>Your other point about AWS profits allowing losses in the retail business is incorrect.  Profit is an accounting measure.  A business with positive (even large) profits can run out of cash.  A business with negative profits (losses) can operate for a long time, e.g. if it has raised cash by issuing equity or bonds, or if it is generating cash by selling off capital assets.
