I don't think it's selling out. AKB48 as a group have the popularity that K-on, Madoka, and Vocaloid can't even touch so I can see why the show talked about them. Even morning news that don't cover anime talked about AKB0048 too just because the AKB name is attach to it. But I can understand if it's the show AKB0048, it is kinda too early to tell if this will be a hit.

The show is meant to talk about things that are currently popular. Not things that may or may or may not be popular. That's why people are harping on it. No one can say if the show will succeed or fail.
Actually vocaloid is several orders of magnitude more popular than AKB. It sells more discs, games, media than AKB easily. Just it doesn't get as much coverage in mainstream media because Crypton and Sega are not traditional entertainment companies.
