I'm biased as a former Amiga owner, but I'm going to say that the failure of the Amiga was not because it was a poor copy of the Mac, but because of poor business skills by Jack Tramiel and the leadership of Commodore. The Amiga was in fact far more capable than either the IBM PC (which was the industry standard at the time) or the Apple Macintosh. At a time when the IBM PC was pretty much limited to 16 colors and the Mac was black and white, the Commodore Amiga was capable of 4096 colors, had four voice stereo sound AND had a TRUE preemptive multi-tasking operating system which neither the PC or the Mac would have for another FIVE YEARS.
