There is no doubt whatsoever that the comment made by CCP is supported by the real world.
That is untrue. The comment is very much disputed.
I was personally involved in business with a software company where exactly the same question - "new features or polished quality" came up.
In that case...
Anecdotal experience and statistically significant data are two very different things. MMOs have been around for longer than the MMORPG acronym has. The data available on what sells and what doesn't amounts to a small mountain, and has been gathered from a sample of millions of paying customers.
Your personal experience, in short, is contrary to the norm. That's fine, but you can't build sensible business decisions on a few anecdotal minority reports when the bulk of the evidence goes against said reports.

Cipher and Sitcher, the ball is in your court...
Present me with data from an unpolished game that is more successful than my example of polished quality 
What, to win an internet debate? I think you're overestimating just how much I care.
but, if you want me to cite an example - I hear EVE Online is pretty popular, and has seen consistent growth since it was first released in 2003.

Excuse me for taking you seriously. I am tempted to say that will not happen again 
My flippancy may have something to do with the fact that I think you're talking out of your arse.
We are discussing MMOs here, not Gran Turismo.
