Don't they need to hit some sort of sales success to be called "Greatest Hits"?

From Wikipedia:

When Sony introduced the program for PlayStation in 1997, games could become GH titles after selling at least 150,000 copies and being on the market for at least a year. Minimum sales required eventually rose to 250,000.

When the program came to PlayStation 2 in 2002, games could become GH titles after selling at least 400,000 copies and being on the market for at least 9 months.

Third-party publishers, however, can set their own GH prices and are not required to make their games GH titles after passing the minimums. Games that are multi-million sellers may become GH titles much later than 9 months to maximize profits.

In 2006, Sony extended the Greatest Hits program to the PlayStation Portable. To qualify, a title must be on the market for at least 9 months and have sold 250,000 copies or more.

Dont know the rule for PS3. Probably lower to 250,000 copies like PS1 and PSP. WW sale surpassing 250,000 is not that strigent.

It (PS3's market share) might hit 30%, but definently not more. ~ Neo
