That right there is exactly the problem. Advent Children took them 5 years to make, and it wasn't even a game. Top notch CGI is not made overnight, and takes a lot of space. Add that to world design, character design, battle design, etc.

I would imagine they are working on solutions for faster output though. It's their bread and butter afterall.
