If you war games it, Japan wins huge in the beginning. Japan spent too many resources taking things that didn’t matter. Everything should have been immediately aimed at Midway and Hawaii. If you take those, everything else comes in due time. All you need is the oil.
But eventually you lose because the Americans have almost infinite resources to throw at you.

Hawaii was the key. Had the Nips taken HI, which IMO the could have done in '41, the war would have lasted much longer.
This and their pathetic ASW capabilities early in the war was their biggest issues IMO. Their sonar sucked and wasn't very good until the very end of the war.
