Minimum sales required eventually rose to 250,000. When Sony introduced the program for PlayStation in March 1997, games could become Greatest Hits titles after selling at least 150,000 copies and being on the market for at least a year. PlayStation Hits is used as the branding label for PlayStation 4 games in North America, Brazil, Europe, Oceania, Japan, and select Asian countries.
The branding is used for reprints of popular, top-selling games for each console in the PlayStation family, which are deliberately sold with a lower MSRP than the original production runs of a game, and feature special branding-colored in red since PlayStation 2-on their box art, as well as red-colored cases on PlayStation Portable, PlayStation Vita, PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 releases (instead of the traditional clear or blue-colored casing).Įquivalent programs exist in Europe and Oceania (as ' Essentials'), Japan and select Asian countries (as ' The Best'), South Korea (as ' BigHit'), and in South America (as ' Favoritos'). Greatest Hits is a branding used by Sony Interactive Entertainment for discounted reprints of PlayStation video games. Official banners used on PlayStation game covers For other Greatest Hits budget ranges, see Greatest Hits (disambiguation).
