I am sorry but your logic doesn't stand.

It's not how much you earn, it's how much buying power you have.
Buying a game for 45 USD in the US is not much differnent from buying a game for 45 GBP in the UK. That's my experience. I last lived in the UK in 2005/2006, and have been back in the US since then.
You must consider how much you'd expect to pay for a similar product were you to purchase it domestically.
I buy quite a lot of PC games for my four boys. Paying 45 USD for a game in the US is higher than average (but WinSP is worth it). My experience is paying 45 GBP in the UK for a PC game is also higher than average, and about the same cost/value.
