Umm... I can think of tons of franchises where the first in the series wasn't much, then later games exploded in sales/popularity. How about:

Street Fighter 1 vs. 2
Grand Theft Auto 1/2 vs. 3
Call of Duty 1/2/3 vs. 4
Mega Man 1 vs. 2 (for the old-timers)

And that's just off the top of my head. Really, it's not THAT surprising. If you give a development team unlimited time, employees, and money to work with - yeah, they can probably turn out an improved game.

 

Dune vs Dune 2

Tekken 1/2 vs Tekken 3

Zelda, The Adventure of Link, A link to the Past, Link's Awakening vs Ocarina of Time (the 1st 4 were good, but Ocarina is just Epic in quality and popularity)
