Will we get much better graphics anymore in the near future?

Another question would be "Will improving the graphics of games more and more be finantially sound in the future?".

This is basically something I've thought about for a long time. The cost of making games look better and better has to get more expensive as time moves on right? So what happens when your audience doesn't grow as fast to offset the cost (or worst case shrinks)? 

I suppose the graphic tools will become cheaper and easier to use, but if they try to improve those tools to get better visuals, it will cost a lot of money.
