So Nintendo is doing something new because, although other companies have made hybrids and have consoloidated their development teams, no company has consolidated the amount of development teams Ninty is into a hybrid.  Sure, if we get that specific then I suppose it's an innovation.  But so now let's go back to the OP, what in your mind could Sony or MS possibly copy about the Switch now that we've established that neither has a meaningful enough software development division beyond what is used for home console game development?  

What other companies have made a hybrid console before?

A hybrid console isn't just a handheld console that you can connect to your TV, it's a console where you can play ALL the games the hardware company is developping.

If you wanted to play all of Sony's games you still needed to buy both their handheld and home console. The same goes for Sega.

If the Switch proves succesful like the Wii was than yeah, Sony and MS will copy the concept. It's that simple, they'd be stupid not to if it was that succesful (and I'm not saying it will be that succesful by the way).

We still don't know if the Nintendo Switch IS a hybrid console! Nitendo has specifically said the opposite of that. Yet somehow everyone knows what things Nintendo is saying just to sell more 3DSs and which things are 100% true because reasons.

Okay.
