I have a feeling this will, if it hasn't already, quickly dissolve from a "which games will be widely considered the best years in the future" to a "which games I consider best now" contest.
Oh well. Regardless, I'll try to stick to the main formula.
#1 Dark Souls: Certainly not the most popular seventh gen game, but I would argue by far the most influential and most likely to be remembered. Aside from revitalizing the Metroidvania genre and bringing together a huge community wishing for less handholding in video games, arguably its biggest achievement was having multiplayer components while still keeping an immersive single player. People could help each other out through medium of floor message, or alternatively do the exact opposite by invading each other's worlds. Just don't mention the frame rate...
#2: Minecraft: Maybe this one will be "remembered" more than it's loved, but the impact that Minecraft has had on the video game community is impossible to deny. Outside of the people simply playing it, and the way its taken off on the online community, I largely blame it for crafting mechanics in basically every major action adventure game published nowadays.
#3 Bioshock: I'd honestly argue this shouldn't be as widely liked as it is, but it pretty much introduced System Shock gameplay to the console generation and everyone loved it for that, so yeah.
#4 Journey: I feel like Journey's memorableness is fading somewhat quickly, but to be quite honest there isn't a lot that I anticipate will really be remembered as an all time classic, so this may be as good a bet as any. A short, simple, storytelling experience without the need for words, and one that absolutely took the gaming community by storm when it came out.
#5 Wii Sports: Again, one that I sense will be remembered more than loved, but, again, 7th gen doesn't have a ton that I anticipate will be loved widely in ten years time. Wii Sports basically kick started the trend of motion gaming, and turned millions of random people into video game players (at least for a month or so), so I guess it slides into the 5th spot.
