When business partners get paralyzed by launch perfectionism

My business partner and I keep saying we'll launch when everything is exactly right, but we've been 'almost ready' for eight months and our competitors have launched three products in the time we've spent perfecting our one. We both see what's happening but neither of us wants to be the one to say 'let's ship something imperfect' because what if it fails and it's our fault.
