Well there could be a couple of reasons.
1. The sequel could be very, very bad. People that bought into Devil May Cry 2(another Capcom sequel not made by it's original team) had the shock of a lifetime when they saw that they purchased a massive turd of a sequel.
2. The sequel could be different enough to warrant both games a buy. Who knows where it's going to take place? A hotel maybe? A town? As long as it isn't the same location again, I can see a reason there for owning the first if you end up liking the sequel. Maybe the story will be a continuous of the first making the first not essential to play but better to get a good understanding of the story in the second. It's not like this is a yearly sports edition with a few new features and a roster change. Not all games become redundant when their sequel comes out. I'm not sure what kind of gamer you are, but I have actually bought more than one entry in a series. Maybe you're just more of a one entry kind of guy though.
3. In my personal opinion, don't get either. I don't think the game is all it's cracked up to be.
