Here's a crappy mockup I made:

Consoles are arranged by release date, with the year added for context. Just add in relevant new hardware when it releases, and remove its predecessor.  Red = Nintendo, Blue = Sony, Green = Microsoft.

Numbers should be larger, but overall it looks very good.

If dropping percentages and gens from the chart is the best or only way this can be done at the present time, I would rather see a layout something like this rather than what is in use at the moment. The release dates do give somewhat of an indication what should fit into each gen. Since we know where Wii U stands basically (and could replace Wii in the Last Gen chart?), and XB1 and PS4 don't seem to be going anywhere for at least a few years, getting Switch up there makes sense.

Unless maybe a "Next Gen" chart could be made up with only Switch, that was an option to choose like Last Gen or Year-to-Date? Not sure which is harder to do or makes the most sense.
