I came across this when I was checking if my CNN phone interview came to anything.

It seems I was quoted (if you look carefully), though I don't remember saying those exact words :-) When will I learn not to talk to the press. Interesting technology but I'm not sure it would have much to offer as a "brain controller".

Forcing thought isn't something you want to do after a hard day at the office. You just want to relax with a casual game which doesn't require much thought (or is second nature). Whilst this still requires thinking, I think trying to use mind power would take a whole lot more :)
(I don't even know if that paragraph makes sense, but hopefully it does!)
I think what Burkey could be trying to say is that: we've evolved as a species, and grown up as people, to interact with things through our appendages. When they fit those caps from birth, then remote device control will be just as easy as limb control and this gaming paradigm will work. Given that the likelihood of that happening is vanishingly small, I don't see this as more than a novelty controller.
