Literally just open up a few games in steam DB. It's a smooth gradient of nations with differing prices. It would absolutely not be negligible.

The increased volume in lower income regions is massively less than the lowered revenue in the first world in every case. Regional pricing is "bonus" revenue from low income regions. It does not offset the first world in any way.
