Actually the first Mortal Kombat game dethrowed Street Fighter 2 as the most popular arcade fighter pretty quickly and it was released only a year and a eight month after it.

In Japan? Somehow I doubt that. Source?

Not in Japan but in the US it pretty much was a instant hit.  Of course it didn't sell as much on consoles as SF2 since both the Genesis and SNES versions where pretty poor ports and the SNES version was heavily censored.
