that only works if there is indeed a market for all those new products. very few of the products that are developed ever get to the stage of commercial viability and the process is quite complicated and time consuming. there are stages in the product development cycle that simply can't be speeded up.

aside from all that, faster product development doesn't exist in a vacuum - the advantages are immediately competed away, since everybody can do it when it becomes technologically feasible.
