There's a big difference. An official price-cut is carefully planned and often timed with big software releases (see Vita in Japan). The UK price cut was made in the middle of a software drought, so if someone was not willing to part with $350 just to play NSMBU and Nintendo Land dropping the price to $300 probably won't entice him to buy it. On the other hand, if the price goes down to $300 just as say Mario Kart and Smash Bros come out then suddenly you've got a lot more people interested in paying for the console.

Oh I see. Does the UK unofficial price cut damage future price cuts then?

Hard to say but I'd guess it won't affect it that much because when there's an official price cut it will be strongly advertized as a new price for the console and if it is done with the right games then that's all that matters in the end.
