HAL basically has a long, lucrative contract with Nintendo that they're not going to be backing out of any time soon. They could decline to renew it, in theory, when the next deadline comes up - but MS buying HAL is about as likely as Nintendo buying Insomniac; it's just not going to happen.
"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."
