I dunno, the COD audience is generally pretty casual and I reckon even this time next year a lot won't have upgraded to 8th gen yet.

But we'll see.

I don't want to argue the whole casual vs hardcore thing again ...

If Ubisoft and EA has already taken steps for a big franchise like AC or Star Wars: Battlefront respectively to be next gen only then Activision will likely follow suit with COD ...

I think  COD is however a much bigger and more established franchise and may appeal to a new budget minded market which Microsoft is trying to reposition the xbox 360 with the new holiday bundle it recently released. Microsoft continues to maintain that is remains committed to the 360 until 2016. It will also probably try to rally the likes of Activision to continue the support. But I guess going forward it will depend on how MS' efforts to appeal to the budget minded market pans out and if decent sales can be maintained for ps360 this holiday and next. I guess we will need to wait and see. 

I think it would be stupid NOT to support the 360 and even PS3 until at least next year. You'd be cutting out 60 or 70 million potential buyers, plus late adopters.
