Don't get me wrong I definitely see an advantage to using the pointer, I just think the lack of buttons can be an issue. And what you say about auto aiming is true, some console shooters abuse it. But I think that good DA players can adjust to not having auto aim in the same way that you are better when not using the lock-on in Wii games. It just takes a little getting used too, but if you are already good with DA you won't miss the auto aim for long.
I haven't played too much KillZone 2, but I didn't find the aiming to be a problem. My biggest gripe is that the PS3's shoulder buttons just don't feel as good as the triggers that other systems have.
Another good example is Gears of War (360) with friendly fire turned on. That game doesn't have a FreeForAll mode, so people just play different game types with friendly fire on and just kill each other.
With friendly fire on, you can kill friendlies but Auto-Aim is disabled against them. I honestly don't find it any harder killing friendlies (no auto aim) when compared to hostiles (auto aim on).
