I think this mainly has to do with a 1:1 battle in the most part in the pacific. Europe was a true world war. The Pacific was small in comparison and the ending was quick. Then take into account that Japan quickly rebuilt and became a strong US alley. But I agree, the Pacific deserves more face time as it was a brutal war fought by brave soldiers too.
