This is an incredibly lazy method. Here is an example: The two Xbox exclusive Oddworld games are currently being ported to the PC and are going to be sold on Steam (for real). If the games weren't ports and were instead going to run  in an Xbox emulator then I would go tell them to go fuck themselves, I'm not buying that. Not to mention the fact that PS2/Xbox emulation is fairly hardware intensive, thus shutting out lower-end users.

By now I would assume that you don't really need a high-end computer these days for PS2/Xbox emulation. I was able to get Muramasa to work on my laptop for one (to be fair, it's a 2D game though. More graphically intensive Wii games run like shit on my laptop). But yeah, emulation is going to be a lot more computer intensive than just running a straight PC port. Especially when the Original Xbox has very similar architecture to the PC (making Xbox Original games an easy port to the PC).
