Steam allows for adjusted pricing based on country. It is common for games to cost more in US/EU versus other regions.
Additionally, and perhaps perversely, much of a games sale volume tends to be generated during seasonal promotions (Steam Summer/Winter Sale, etc).
Pricing a game at $3 doesn't give you anywhere to go in terms of a discount.
A price of $3 may be an impulse buy for some people, while a price of $9.99 may be a pause to evaluate that against other purchases.
Customers with higher disposable incomes can be targeted with additional content (DLC) or digital merchandise.
