Um, although it is the way the technology works, there are some possible solutions...
Xbox 360 - fully install the game. Yes, it's 20GB but it will improve pop-up.
PS3 - Upgrading your hard drive to a faster one such as a SSD will make a huge improvement (videos I have seen look to eliminate the issue altogether).
Technical Director of id Software, John Carmack, mentioned a reason it's worse on PS3. It was to do with Sony not allowing unbuffered reads on their platform which I assume are faster but error-prone / unsafe compared to buffered reads.
For the PC version, perhaps someone else could advise about this...
