Emulating the origional Xbox is hard because the amount of people interested in working on such a thing is pretty much non-existent.
What is the point in emulating an entire platform that shares the majority of it's game library (Most of it's exclusives were on PC, well the notable ones.) with every other platform? Halo? Halo 2? They were released on PC.
Abe? Yep, was on PC.
However, emulating the origional Xbox is technically an easier affair than say... The Playstation 2, simply because there is no need to interpret instructions, which in some cases needs to be split up multiple times before being executed.
There is no need to "Pretend" for the PC 's hardware to essentially, in-a-way pretend it's different hardware completely.
Xbox One and Playstation 4 will come easier and faster, with less of a performance hit, there is simply less guesswork required for the hardware, no need to split/interpret differing instructions, etc'.

Hmmm, I've read a few posts from the developers of Xbox emulators who say very very very different.
How come we don't have windows games on linux?

at that time Xbox original work with direct x under the hood but the way it works is different and even know the original one is still hard to emulate.
you can imagine the PS4 and Xbox one run on differnt GUI (early Xbox One still depend on Direct X) and work on code close to metal will make difficult to emulate, not even mention that both is heavily modified GPGPU (only few people use GPGPU for gaming ), especially PS4.
