I can totally see why this cut was only in Europe. It was long overdue, as it probably should have been that price at launch. The base Switch was a bit pricier than it normally would have been if it followed the typical pricing structure of other systems. The normal pricing structure for consoles seems to be a $1 to €1 to £0.85-0.9 ratio. But the Switch cost 10% more than that norm in Europe.

It was pretty much already 300€ at launch, and then went slighlty up (high demand + 2019 revision).

But it was always easy to find it at 299€ or even 292€ on Amazon.

Now several websites (such as Amazon) sell it at 270€.

It did in France, as all the retailers set the 299€ price at launch over there. But not for the rest of Europe, where the price was in General 329€ or the local equivalent in countries without the Euro. Which is also why I would have bought mine in France if I hadn't gotten a good deal at the local store.
