Seeing how AMD has lost quite a bit of ground to Intel over the last few years it's only natural that OEMs will be rather pessimistic when it comes to their assessments on how many AMD boards they'll be able to sell and as a result end up rather wary of niche AMD products.
I personally hope Zen will be a breakaway success not only because I plan on buying one (I've already bought the DDR4 RAM and I ordered a new computer case last week), but also because the general CPU market has gotten VERY stale since Intel gained market dominance. Intel really needs a kick up the backside and be forced to stop wasting silicon by cramming in integrated GPUs in to $250 GPUs like the 6600K and charging people extra for being able to overclock their CPU.
