If we count players that occassionally switch to Classic after doing their daily/weekly stuff in retail then I would guess Classic will have around 1 million. A vast majority of the players on Classic servers will be retail players, a small minority will be people that used to only play on private servers.
My numbers are also taken out of my ass, but they are at least realistic compared to yours "BLIZZARD WILL BRING IN 1 TO 3 MILLION PLAYERS THAT PLAYED ON NOSTALRIUS AND OTHER PRIVATE SERVERS" eventhough Nostalrius didn't even have 1 million accounts.
