The second problem is that Cloverfield doesn't explain anything. Where does the monster come from? I dunno. Why is it in Manhatten? No clue.
You apparently missed the last shot where you see something fall from the sky into the ocean (I did too, a friend pointed it out). That should answer these two questions at least...
Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter is still one of the top selling and most popular Xbox 360 games, and its predecessors were very popular on the Xbox. While not as "simulation"-y as the Ghost Recon titles on the PC, it's a pretty hardcore shooter. So, no question, this type of shooter is very popular on consoles these days...or at least on the Xboxes.
