Read all four saved snapshots from disk. source-0.html.gz (Capcom IR, HTTP 200): confirms the official June 9 2026 press release titled 'Street Fighter 6 Sales Surpass 7 Million Units Worldwide!', the verbatim Modern Control Type description ('a new controller input option that allows special attacks to be performed without complex button combinations, as well as strengthened accessibility features'), 'decided to add four new characters to mark the game's fourth year', 59 million+ franchise units, and launch dates (June 2 2023 / Switch 2 June 5 2025) — this is the primary source for the 7 million figure. source-1.html.gz (Nintendo Life, HTTP 200): confirms the verbatim @StreetFighter quote 'An achievement all thanks to you. We're eternally grateful that Street Fighter 6 has now sold over 7 million copies worldwide!' dated June 8 2026, and SFV best-selling at 7.90 million. source-2.html.gz (EventHubs, HTTP 200): confirms SF6 reached 7M in ~three years vs SFV's almost seven years, SFV stalled at 7.9M since end of 2025, on pace to eclipse predecessor, and Tekken 8 at 3 million with no update in over a year. source-3.html.gz (GamingBolt, HTTP 200): confirms Switch 2 launch-week game and the full Year 4 roster (Yasmine Summer 2026, Arjun Autumn 2026, Tifa Lockhart early 2027, Bosch Spring 2027) plus Year 4 Character Pass details (characters' colors for Outfit 1, 3,000 Drive Tickets). The fifth source, noisypixel.net, returned HTTP 403 and its snapshot FAILED (manifest file: null), so it could not be archived to provenance. As a last resort I WebFetched the live noisypixel URL, which confirmed both claims attributed to it: the current platform list ('PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam') and the prior milestone ('Six million units were confirmed to have been sold back in November 2025'). games.gg is NOT cited anywhere in the article.

Every specific (7 million units, 59 million franchise, 7.90 million SFV, Tekken 8 3 million, June 2 2023, June 8 2026 message, character names and release windows, 3,000 Drive Tickets) traces to a cited source and was verified verbatim or near-verbatim. The 7 million figure is not inflated or fabricated — Capcom's own IR release is the primary. No hallucinated quotes detected; both direct quotes match their snapshots exactly.

High-quality, fully sourced sales-milestone news story. All claims verified against snapshots (and a live fallback for the 403'd source). Verdict APPROVE_WITH_CORRECTIONS solely to document, via a public corrections record, that the noisypixel.net snapshot could not be archived automatically (HTTP 403) — the underlying claims are accurate. No factual errors in the article itself.
