Here's why Japan didn't stand a chance
"The U.S. Advantage: American industry provided an estimated 4,000 pounds of supplies for every one pound of supplies delivered to Japanese troops in the Pacific."

What was difficult for the allies was the distance those supplies...
...had to travel. Unlike the Normandy landing where the troops just had to cross the English Channel, we had to ship man, machine and supplies thousands of miles. We had maybe a half dozen D-Day landings in the Atlantic and Mediterranean theater, read that we had ~100 D-Day landings in the Pacific.
