Only in Japan, in US and Europe it was released in septemberr 1995

So? It was still released December 1994.

Anyway, just under PS1s 3rd birthday. October 1997 numbers say 22.5 million sold. EDIT: Shipped

What this means then, the PS3 IS selling a little faster than the PS1, which was also claimed by Sony. 3 years into it's life (PS1) it had 22.5mill consoles out. Currently we're 2 months away from the PS3's 3rd full year, as Oct 1997 was for PS1, and it's already at 24mill, nearly 2mill higher than the PS1. Therefore, the PS3 is the faster selling system despite being in third place.

No its not, the PS1 had a much more staggered launch than the PS3, if you take each territory and compare them, you'll see that PS1 was actually selling faster, except europe, but overall it was selling faster
