Capcom’s Marvel vs Capcom 3 has missed out on the UK No.1 spot to Activision’s Call of Duty: Black Ops, reports GfK ChartTrack.

We’d assumed the race for the top spot would feature Dead Space 2 and last week’s No.1 Test Drive Unlimited 2, but didn’t factor in the staying power of Black Ops which climbed from No.4 to No.1.

There’s little else to report, with the only other major mover being EA’s NFS Hot Pursuit, which climbed from No.16 up to No.11.

Even though we didn’t anticipate anything matching the success of Street Fighter IV we had assumed MvC3 would manage to claim the No.1 spot in a week with no other major new release. With Bulletstorm and Killzone 3 hitting on Friday the outlook doesn’t look good for Capcom’s brawler.
