You are right about CS being more focused on software development, but to say that CE is focused more on hardware is a bit vague. CE is half CS and half electrical engineering. For the most part (I'm generalizing here), a BS in CS or CE will qualify you for nearly the same jobs, though CE may give you a few more opportunities. That said, the coursework is a bit more difficult than CS.
If you were thinking about double majoring, I would not recommend CS and CE together because it would be more beneficial to go CS and EE. Remember that CE is a hybrid of CS and EE. If you want two degrees, go CS and EE. Otherwise, just go for CE by itself. However, you can do whatever you like.
