Considering MGS4's 57.3% of that quarterly profit is a little under $30m, I think its safe to assume the game is a good ways off from making back its $70m+ cost of development.
MGS4 still is a financial dissaster. Though to truly determine that we would have to know how much MGS4 sold in the first quarter to put things in proper context. Even if we assume MGS4 has made just as much money since the first quarter ended it would still be $10m beneath making its money back.
It's only a profit for the short term of this quarter and for this quarter's expenses, not for MGS4's development cost as a whole. Even then Konami is still making less than half of their revenue back.
