Using a $20 to $30 to estimate publisher revenue for each of the games we get

MGS4: $66 to $100 Million
Infinite Undiscovery: $5 to 7.5 Million
Ace Combat 6 : $10 to $15 Million
Tales Of Vesperia : $5 to $7.5 Million
Eternal Sonata (360): $5 to $7.5 Million
Beautiful Katamari: $6 to $9 Million
Haze: $8 to $12 Million
Blue Dragon: $10 to $15 Million
Time Crisis 4: $8 to $12 Million

I think that even if some of these games did turn a profit, the return on investment would really not be that good.

 

As Developement cost for many HD games are speculated to be around the $30 Million mark, therefore it's likely all those games made a loss,

As far as MGS4 costs, they were aluded to be in the range of $100 Million, so even this one may have done poorly

All these results have been reflect in the annual losses reported by those publishers that mainly produce HD games
