The main reason Sasuke survived so long was because he could use lightning release, which Itachi can't. Add that to the fact that Itachi's most powerful techniques (Tsukuyomi, Totsuka Blade) are close-range, and things aren't looking too good for him. Not to mention the strain extended MS usage would put on his eyes.
