A '''mouse''' or '''computer mouse''' is a pointing device for a [[computer]]. It is a hand-held peripheral that moves freely on a flat surface. It detects motion relative to that surface either by means of a trackball or tracking laser, both of which are located at the bottom of the mouse.
The '''Nintendo 64''', the fourth home video game console released by [[Nintendo]], was preceded by the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]]. It was first released in 1996.


Mice also have buttons to select an action, usually relative to the position of the mouse pointer. Mice typically have between one and three buttons. They can also contain a scroll wheel, which is typically used to advance the scroll bar in the open [[application software|application]].
The [[GameCube]], released in 2001, was the successor of the Nintendo 64.

Sony announced the [[PlayStation]], which was at the time a CD-ROM addon for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]] at the Consumer Electronics Show in 1991.  However, since the system would use a Sony-developed Super Disc format, Sony would have a large deal of control over the system. As a result, Nintendo tried to negotiate a better deal with Philips.  This led to both deals falling through, and the add-on was never released.  Philips released the [[CD-i]] in 1991, and Sony released the PlayStation as a stand-alone console in 1994.

In the meantime, Nintendo was working on their follow-up to the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. They opted to go with cartridges rather than CD-ROM media, as it would allow Nintendo to have more control over the production of games for the system. Cartridges would also allow games on the Nintendo 64 to load faster than the games on the systems by its competitors.
 
They marketed it as a 64-bit system to try to gain an edge on their competitors, but the lack of space when compared to competition hurt the system. As the cartridges were more expensive to produce than compact disc media,Nintendo also had a hard time getting third party support for their system. The Nintendo 64 went on to sell more units worldwide with 32.93 million units compared to the 9.26 million [[Sega Saturn|Saturn]] units that [[Sega]] sold. However, the Sony PlayStation outsold both systems combined with 102.49 million units.

The Nintendo 64, the fourth home video game console released by Nintendo, was preceded by the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. It was first released in 1996.

The GameCube, released in 2001, was the successor of the Nintendo 64.

Development

Sony announced the PlayStation, which was at the time a CD-ROM addon for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System at the Consumer Electronics Show in 1991. However, since the system would use a Sony-developed Super Disc format, Sony would have a large deal of control over the system. As a result, Nintendo tried to negotiate a better deal with Philips. This led to both deals falling through, and the add-on was never released. Philips released the CD-i in 1991, and Sony released the PlayStation as a stand-alone console in 1994.
