Use these two articles, current analysis and USA article, to see how it is entirely reasonable and possible that more people showed up on Saturday in Washington DC (at least 850,000), than showed up for the O-maculation in January (850,000):
"Just for comparison, we’ve got the Obama inauguration, which was originally estimated at 2 million and then revised down to about 850,000. Popular Science got GeoEye to take a satellite photo..."
"Average all of those and we get 900,000 plus (924,000). Throw out the outliers, we get 850,000. And remember that the 1.5 million was a real count; it’s inherently a more believable number. Our estimate should be “pulled” upward by that.
"Conclusion: probably well more than 850,000 in the (9/12) crowd."
