I don't know what the media by you is saying, but it was definitely the largest gathering/demonstration.
There's no way to really count how many people were there, since not only was the kotel area packed, and the stairs down full, but the gates to the old city were blocked, too.
Here's the link to what I wrote after I returned home.

My estimation is at least 600,000 after reading other accounts.
