Tekken series producer Katsuhiro Harada left a tweet today announcing that Tekken 6 won the award for highest income in Japanese arcades for the year 2010. This report comes from the Amusement Journal, and marks the 2nd year in a row that Tekken has taken top honors. Congrats to Harada and everyone at Namco. Check after the jump for more notes.

It also raked in 45% more than the next nearest fighting game, Blazblue Continuum Shift, and Street Fighter 4 (around 48% more). Obviously a strong year for Tekken that bodes well going into 2011 and Tekken Tag 2 on the horizon.
