Generally they need to be on the market for a year and sell 600,000 copies to become greatest hits

Mostly they need to be sell 600,000 or more copies to become greatest hits. It's my opinion.

It depends on the high amount of copies of the game sold and how long has past since it's release...

For it to sell copious amounts of copies and then fall out of the top 20 I would imagine. That might explain why Halo only went platinum after Halo 2 arrived, why Super Smash Bros never did since it never left the top 10, and why PS2 has a million greatest hits because they had a circulating library.

A game must sell at least 500,000 copies to be a greatest hit title. Normally the price drops and the label at the top changes to red instead of black.
