Seems pretty easy.

Step 1: direct the largest library/store of games ever

Step 2: create the best piece of gaming hardware ever

Step 3: dribble out pre-orders for a year to really get that slow hype train rolling

I wouldn't call the steam deck the greatest piece of gaming hardware ever. There are many very well equipped PC handhelds out now. The difference that Valve brings is that their software is impeccable and they have a good history of supporting their hardware with up to date software for many, many years.

Competitors have better performance, but the overall hardware of Steam Deck is unmatched so far. Trackpads alone make it so much more flexible.
