I agree with Reverend Zombie... CIV_4 is currently more popular because they have a big publisher and larger advertising budget.
Lots of gamers are afraid to purchase something over the internet as well compared with just walking into a store.

I disagree. I think the reason Civ_4 will be popular because of the groundwork that was laid with Civ and Civ2 to produce a good TBS game. That being said, Civ_4 will do good or bomb on it's own merits. It does however have the benefit of being it's own IP and recognized as having the potential of being a very good game.

Dominions has this to it's own extent but not on the same level.

Just as the deal with Stardock and Master of Magic. It's brand recognition, devotion and possible success that allows the risk vs the reward so that Stardock decided to take the leap and try to make it work financially.
