they are not proper price drops since Nintendo didn't set a price for the Switch in Europe, it's up to the retailers to decide it and they clearly realized that overpricing it this much would have hurt the potential sales...

Again though why would you do that unless demand is dropping. If I have 200 people chomping at the bit for a product and will only get 100 stock allocation why would I discount? Surely an indication of falling demand. 

The general most common view on this forum is that the Switch is a huge success for launch with all stock allocated to customers and shops waiting for their second batch of stock to fulfill more orders. That is not a discounting scenerio. 

There's no set price for the Switch in Europe, so retailers are competing against each other to set the best price. If one of them drops the price, others will soon follow.

Considering the Switch only costs $260 in Japan and $300 in the USA, €330 for Europe was a ludicrous price.
