No, it helps increase my excitement to for a console.

Basically this^

It increases my interest in the game, not necessarily my enjoyment of the final product though.

Super Mario Maker is a better game because it's exclusive thanks to the gamepad making it much easier to create levels than in LBP.

So yeah, exclusives can increase my enjoyment of a game.

LBP Vita used the touchscreen/sticks/buttons-combination to make it much easier to create levels years before Super Mario Maker. LBP3 on PS4 uses a touchpad/sticks/buttons-combination to make it much easier to create levels. Xbox-consoles could use any smartglass-device for level-creation...

Not nearly as good as the gamepad with SMM.

Yeah, like you have even tried creating levels with LBP Vita, LBP3 or Project Spark (which supports smartglass)...

Yes, LBP3 is ten times more complicated and Project Spark is garbage and why would I want to get smartglass?

Have you ever looked at how simple it is to create levels in SMM? LBP and Project Spark are much more complicated.

Not really. I prefer games that are optimized for the system so exclusives tend to improve those odds.

I've never really thought about that, but I'd have to say no.
