He reached that conclusion because he judged that this game hadn't been so popular as other of his games, or as it could have been. But myself, I don't know if you can really reach conclusions only because one game is not as successful as Civilization.
Covert Action was a moderate success and nowadays still many people remember it. Master of Magic was big too (bigger) and it had the battles "mini-game", which most people absolutely love, including myself. And judged from that point of view, Pirates! is a bunch of mini-games, and it was a huge success. But when Sid re-made it in 1993 and 2004 he didn't change that, for the latest version he even added the dancing mini-game on top of the others.
