I feel like you're underestimating the capabilities of Japanese devs like this. Plenty of the otaku-teams who work PlayStation only could profit with a HD game on those kinds of sales.
Then again, plenty of them get more money out of it from recycling a lot of assets across multiple titles, and I don't think that's the case here.
Also, this game seems to have had a bit more polish than some of those I'm talking about.
Still, Deception IV sold similarly across PS3 & Vita, and I don't doubt that would've been profitable on Japanese sales alone.
