How will the increased graphics budgets be funded?

There won't be increased budgets. The system is way easier to develop on which reduces costs.

That was true in early PS3 days, but after 7 years, any developer can bring up UE3 and make a game without fighting with it. The tools are all in place to abstract the complexity.

The largest part of any game's budget is graphics, not code. You need people to do the art, and with mature tools that is always going to cost more people, time and money on a better platform. There's no shortcut.
