I'm sure that MS also paid a good chunck for the development for the first game so its still the most profitable game in the series. 

That is a pretty baseless assumption.

And considering the amount of stuff they were able to spin off from DR2 (Case Zero, Case West, and Off the Record), I doubt it anyway.

Microsoft surely paid for Case Zero and Case West since they are only available on XBLA.  Also as much as they promoted the first one I'm sure MS helped them out in some way.
