The requirements keep going up
Apparently the game has been crowd funded to the tune of $46M+. The creators are intentionally making the game only for the pc. Their statement is that "...consoles can't handle it..." Of course, this has created lots of entertaining flame wars among the pc-vs-console factions.

For the record, the minimum system requirements as they currently stand are:

Windows 7 or 8, 64-bit only
Dual-core CPU - Intel Core2 Duo 2.4Ghz or AMD Phenom X2
8GB RAM
Nvidia GeForce 460GTX or AMD Radeon HD5850, DirectX 11 only

An Intel Core i5 2500 and a GTX 670 GPU is recommended, while "a smooth experience at maximum settings" will demand an R9 290X or GTX 780. To play it properly in 4K, you'll need to either slap together a pair of mid-to-high end cards, or wait for Nvidia or AMD to invent something new.

Sounds like they're steadily shrinking their potential customer share. Crysis had high requirements and it was limited them in sales and it had more hype and less ridiculous minimum specs.

Regardless, if they keep changing it to require more horse power as it becomes available they're never going to release a finished product.
