Remember, they also knocked out the British fleet in the Pacific at the same time they were doing Pearl Harbor.

The Japanese however failed because of the fact that the US carriers were NOT at the time present at Pearl Harbor during the attack. If this would've happened, the Japanese would've have had serveral more months of movement in the Pacific.
