You cannot be serious.

What you are saying is that non-parallel technology progression can necessarily be compared in terms of linear logic, which is fallacious. You cannot be more wrong than you are being right now. Not all technology is "forward leaning", whatever that means.

The technology used in Natal and the technology used in the Wiimote are not comparable in that way. They are just different. One is not inherently more "advanced" than the other.

What you are describing is not "stripping away the need for" technology, it is finding an alternative method by which to produce the same results.

If I told you that the CPU in project Natal is more powerful then the CPU in the Wii would that finally shut you up over what advanced means?

Is processing power the only metric of advances in CPUs? What about physical size, energy consumption, manufacturing cost? If the CPU in your computer takes a 500w power supply and is 50% more powerful than the CPU in my iPod does that make the iPod CPU less advanced? Realistically, it is very difficult (potentially impossible) to demonstrate that one technology is more advanced than another unless they're directly related. It is easier to claim that something is based on newer or older technology, but claiming more advanced technology implies that one is superior to the other.
