Viva Pinata is the best example so far, I think. It's a new IP turned into a franchise, and although I'm sure MS threw some weight behind it, I don't recall any big ad campaigns. I don't really know the game, but I've never heard it compared to another game so as to suggest it was derivative.
So this kind of success can happen on HD, it just isn't really common.
