I thought it was to help boost sales somewhat in that region due to it having higher growth potential than the other two major ones.

In a statement to Eurogamer at the time, Nintendo UK said the change was "due to currency exchange rates"... 

This isn't completely unexpected - currency conversions had seen the relative UK and European prices for the original Nintendo Switch among the higher end of those offered globally, so this week's price cut was something of a normalisation.

Nintendo has no plans for Switch price drop outside Europe

Ah right yeah the Switch was relatively pricey in Europe before that. The plan could change but with the way things are going with demand still being high, shortages and inflation they may never feel a need to drop it at all elsewhere.
