Will Sony and MS copy the Switch?

Get real.  Nobody who was not already a Nintendo fan was suddenly converted here because of detacheable controllers.

Detacheable controllers on their own are not particularly attractive, that is why Morpheus didn't get any response.
The difference is that Nintendo has fans that are ready to gush over whatever they put out.  So what's new?

A good # of Nintendo/Switch fans here are clear they dislike the detachable controllers, but don't care since they aren't forced to use them.

I have no problem saying it's vaguely neat design, that could be useful for some people/niches...  So what though?  
That doesn't logically lead to Nintendo having stumbled over a gold mine that Sony and MS *MUST* lust after "copying" Nintendo.

Why is it copying Nintendo when you fantasize Sony/MS needing to compensate, but not copying Morpheus when Nintendo uses the idea?

And Sony already has their own single-hand detached alternate controller:

 

BTW, did you notice the thread on PSVR content already in 1 month outselling VR competition which has been out for year?
Does Nintendo need to copy that?  How are they going to do that?

Nintendo copies themselves, that's not the discussion. They also already showed interest in VR.
