Not wanting to curb peoples enthusiasm but I would suggest that there was not 500,000 people playing online day one. What I would suggest though is that 500,000 instances of people creating profiles for the game happened.
I am pretty sure that they would not of had capacity for 500,000 concurrent users either nor should they of expected it. Black Ops for example is largely purchased only for its only play with many never even playing the single player game and I am sure it had huge day one online numbers.
