Just for information: The Cry Engine 2 "only" cost 15.000.000 €. Licensing the Unreal 3 Engine around 700.000 $ - 1.000.000 $.

Even if the average next-gen game will cost up to 60.000.000 $, I wouldn't blame it on the graphics.

Would you be terribly inconvenienced if I blamed graphics anyway? Just because you have the engine doesn't mean you have the textures, character models, items and scenery. And that takes a lot of money to create even if you already have the engine.
