Xbox 360 is also a PowerPC architecture, which on its own makes it quite a bit different from normal PC hardware, and even if that's a target that's more common to emulate there's still heavy performance losses in doing so.

It might have been easier to port to because of good OS design, but running games for it will still be inefficient compared to running on actual hardware.

360 emulation was already quite good a year ago, now there's even an experimental fork of xenon that does recompilation for even more performance.
