Honestly the only reason why im getting a new pc once zen comes out (ill wait and see if i stick with intel or switch to AMD) is that my current X58 motherboard doesn't have M.2 or proper USB3 and SATA3 (i mean it has them, but they run considerably slower in benchmarks then same SSD's on newer platforms)
If i didn't want to grab a new M.2 SSD and get all the other newer features a current generation motherboard has i would just grab a GTX 1080 and be done with it for another 2-3 years.

Looking at game console i don't see the need for more that 8 cores for PC gaming.
As for Intel not having anything left to give in the CPU department. I believe that you are very wrong!!!
They are making only power savings and few improvements because they are using a lot of resources to developmet, planing for the future while AMD is struggling to keep up. I think that if AMD will release a competitive CPU in max 1 year Intel will release a CPU that will leave AMD in the another run to keep up.
My opinion about Zen is that the best thing aboit it will be the new motherboards and not the CPU.
