It's the Sharingan. With it enhancing Itachi's Genjutsu (to the point where Orochimaru was caught very steadfastly in a 'simple Genjutsu'), Ninjutsu(None of Orochimaru's jutsu would be useless in front of Itachi's eyes, not to mention the Mangekyou techniques), and Taijutsu (Itachi should be able to see anything coming and react to it accordingly), Orochimaru (most people, actually, barring some of the Hokage) never had a decent chance. His only hope would have been to Edo Tensei Shodai, tell him that Itachi was a murderer of the Leaf, and was bent on it's destruction, and let Shodai go bonkers. That only stands a chance if he does it before he actually goes to find Itachi, since we all know Itachi isn't going to wait politely on him.
