Hardware vs. Software

Whenever I see an XBox or PS2 or Wii, I am always in a dilemma - is it the hardware or the game software which drives Adrenaline in the gamer? So I always wonder what is leading to all these techno gadgets... Is it advances in nanotechnology or is it because of the programmers who keep writing these software. Do advancements in hardware force the programmers to write better software or is it the other way? Some argue it’s a see-saw puzzle; I don't completely disagree with them. Better hardware prompts for better software which in turns asks for better hardware and it keeps going. So what do you think who has the upper hand - Hardware or Software? Thanks to the see-saw war, do we keep developing better hardware and software until we are beaten in our own game - this is way are we going to create Cyborg’s?
