Platinum in other countries is different from America. For example in Canada selling 100,000 is going platinum.

Yea... this is still very successful, though.  Even though the numbers are different, it's proportional, so if you go gold or plat in that many countries, you're doing pretty good.

It's only 100 000 in Canada cuz we have about ten times less people than the states.  It goes by per capita.
