Morning Musume's high point barely lasted over a year to be honest so while I do think that AKB have reached their peak, I do hope it'll last for a while longer

There isn't really anything in the past to compare the group to since no other group has ever reached such a level of mainstream recognition and popularity. You mentioned Momusu but, as myself and another have pointed out, their popular period was long over by this point in their career and this is with that period having been at a time when people still actually bought CDs.
