Last month, NPD sales data revealed that MadWorld was off to a disappointing start and this month there are reports that both Excitebots: Trick Racing and Klonoa have choked in their respective U.S. debuts. Excitebots, which is a Nintendo-published title, managed to sell only 13,000 units in April. The game launched towards the end of the month, yet that figure is disappointing nonetheless. The edition of Excitebots with the Wii wheel sold about 4,000 units which puts the standalone game at approximately 9,000 units. As far as Klonoa goes, estimates put the title at an underwhelming 1,000 units sold. More concrete data on that title should be available next month.
