Yeah, I think next gen the hardware makers and developers will definitely take into account the likeliness that the majority of homes will not benefit hugely from Native 4k. Not everyone can afford or even wants to sit 5ft away from their 50" 4k TV. A checker boarding solution seems the best fit IMO. Supersample for the 1080p screens, offer a nice upgrade for the 4k screens but all whilst allowing GPU prowess to put on things which everyone will benefit from like VFX, lighting, FPS etc.
They could go the PC route and all next gen games will come in 2 performance modes. 1080p (Ultra GFX) and 4k (Mid-low GFX). My fear here is that one of the modes will be unoptimised, i.e the 1080p version wouldn't really utilise the underused GPU and devs will just increase the FPS.
