Instead of just mimic Mario Kart, MS should step up the Kinect series and name it Xbox Sports.
With its engine they should make a game that includes:
- Jet Ski game,
- Kart one,
- Motocross game like Motocross Madness
- A flying race game a la Red Bull
- A Bowling game
- etc,...

Don't games studios just hire people on contracts and those people leave after the game or project is finished?

They do that. But the main part of their staff are usually permanent employees, temporary contracted employees are just to make up the numbers temporarily.

Ohh, I thought most employees were only temporary. Wow, so when studios arent making anything, the employees just get paid for doing nothing? Sounds like a pretty good job.

When are they ever not making something though?

Like when one of their games have just released and they are deciding on what to develop next.

I doubt they have much downtime like that. The guys that plan and design the games will almost certainly be finished before all the writing/coding/art stuff is done. So they can get on with planning the next game while the others finish off the one they are currently working on.

Although, if they do get some downtime it sound like it would be very much deserved with the rumours of the ridiculous hours they need to put in to finish a game by the deadlines.

That's true. Plus these days they start working on fixing all the bugs in their games and working on DLC so I guess their work never stops.

pretty cool, if they will improve the tools and stuff in Project Spark even more in the next years that can be a huge thing for many many great experiences people will create.
