If the release date keeps getting pushed back, then that suggests that the problem isn't that the game needs more time to get fully baked, but rather there's some more fundamental issues in project management or project development that's hampering it. Continuing to push the release date back at that point is unlikely to improve matters, and pushing the result out as-is is actually likely to maximize revenue (the reviews won't get better, and you don't have to maintain marketing buzz for as long) while minimizing the losses from extra developer time.
