I still think they could offer the gamecard and the disk in a package, that's pretty easy and the disk will cost nothing more anyway.
As for the size problem. I guess, nobody said the file should be the same for both consoles. It's not only about downgrading/upgrading the rez. Why not have two versions of the game with different textures.
That said i still think this little game of having both version of each game will be more trouble than benefit in the end.. If they can have a portable that is near WiiU visual quality, at least in surface, they should make it their only console.
And people forget about someting there. Nintendo has always (at least since GC) upgrade its graphics every 2 gens. Meaning one gen will be a reuse of assets from the past gen, or at least same kind of assets.
So, if they keep that habit, having a console with WiiU range of assets seems good for them. Hell they just upgraded and it was a massive effort, to produce MK8, Mario 3D world, and to create all those incredible models. I'd totally see them wanting to keep that level of things for an other generation.
i'll say it again, wanting "PS4 graphics" for nintendo games right now is a caprice from a minority of Nintendo fans. It's been said over and over that this upgrade will bring nothing to Nintendo in term of demographics.
Maybe just have a middle ground. Portable with two sku. But the home version, which is the same exact console, with a gamepad form factor, has a little more power and can output the same 540p games in 720p on tv, to make everyone happy.
