The 360 emulator Xenia delivers inconsistent results, excelling with certain games while struggling with others. Originally a highly imperfect system requiring many hacks and extra steps for smooth performance, its implementation varied widely across titles.
Many 7th generation systems are tough to recreate due to several factors. The Xbox 360 and PS3 employed quite unusual architectures, making emulation challenging because you must handle a lot of genuine CPU operations for each software call. Eighth generation shares more similarities with PC hardware, but the key issue remains software. In particular, Microsoft has imposed significant barriers to bypass DRM and hypervisors in code, and the incentive to do so has largely disappeared since most games are now available on PC.
It's actually the reverse. The absence of a hacking scene in the entire XB1 line isn't due to any hidden issues, but because you can easily get a development license for $20 and run any homebrew you like—no need to dig up anything, since MS already provides access to exploits, making it unnecessary to investigate further.
