Back in January at CES, we got a very brief look at Sony’s first activity tracker, dubbed The Core. It’s a tiny little pod that can be worn on your wrist in its SmartBand, or tucked discreetly into your pocket. The CES announcement was really just a tease, but finally a few more details have been unloosed, including its rapidly-approaching availability.

Sony’s PS4 console can be said to be a hit, where it has successfully sold over 5.3 million units globally ever since it was released. In fact, PlayStation UK’s managing director, Fergal Gara, did mention that the PS4 console will only be readily available on store shelves from this April onward – which is slightly more than a month from now. Hardcore gamers who cannot wait and would want to get cracking on the PS4 could find this waiting period to be an extremely “painful” one, so to speak.
