Europe, Japan and Australia have lower numbers (100,000 for platinum) because of less population than the USA.

That's wrong. In Europe each country has its own Numbers, not as you said 100.000 for platinum in Europe. The Numbers for
Germany are (population about 80.000 inhabitants to about 255.000 in the USA)
Albums:
Double platinum 600.000
platinum 300.000
gold 150.000
The Numbers were reduced back in 1999. Before 1999 the Numbers were the same as for singles that are still:
Double platinum: 1 Mill.
Platinum 500.000
Gold 250.000
It's my life got double platinum here for example.
