This is a very disappointing number. It's below top Apple analyst Gene Munster's estimate of 6 million to 10 million. Worse, it indicates that growth may be slowing at Apple. Take a look at this chart. Opening weekend sales grew 70 percent between the 3GS and the iPhone 4, and then an astounding 135 percent between the 4 and the 4s. That's acceleration. iPhone 5 sales, meanwhile, grew only 25 percent. That's massive deceleration.
