How many units does a game have to sell on the PS2 to get platinum?

 0. The decision is made by Sony, it isn't a fixed figure. Anything over 300k tends to be eligible, and anything over 1 million is almost a sure thing. 


This is pretty much the case. It's acknowledged by most that this is how Killzone made a lot of its sales. Sony made it a $20 platinum/Greatest Hits title and a lot of people decided the game was worth $20 to try out. It's part of the major problem when you try to throw #s around to show how successful a game was.

To give an idea of initial sales, it debuted at #12 in the UK and was off the charts by the end of December.



To cash in my CC rewards points for $300 in Circuit City gift cards to purchase a 360 or not: That is the question.
