"any 2.5ghz core2dou with an nvidia 8800gt 2006 pc will play this better than any console on the market today. heck even slap in a gt640 and i bet it will still smear the consoles graphics by 2X."
No no no. Both next gen consoles have 8gb of RAM, and GPUs roughly equivalent to a 7750 (XBO)/7850 (PS4). Couple that to the lack of OS overhead compared to PC, and that the developers can optimize for a fixed platform, and the actual PC equivalent hardware is even higher than those aforementioned components.
And judging by EA's previous CoD titles for PC, the PC port might be horribly optimized, further increasing the hardware equivalent on PC vs the consoles.
Edit: Excuse me, I meant Activision, not EA.
