Well, the PS2 should emulate more, since it HAS a home brew scene. The XBox has some "personal" emulators ported by profesional developers, which will probably never see the light of day.
But for the record... I think theres only 1 emu on the PS2, and none (public) on the XBox
Heres the PS2 one. http://snes-station.emuunlim.com/

The MAME for XBox port in question is here:
http://www.otakunozoku.com/xbox/index.html
Someone who appears to be working for Angel Studios decided on a lark to port MAME to the XBox using an XBox development kit his studio had. He posted the results to the above back in June or July.
About a year prior to that he dabbled in MAME for the PS2:
http://www.otakunozoku.com/ps2/index.html
This one didn't make as many headlines for some reason.
But there are no emulators in the Dreamcast sense of the word - nothing on these pages can be downloaded or tried. And this is someone who had access to the development software/hardware/compilers.
Ghost has a site at http://www.xbox-emulation.com/, but I think that's a "just in case it turns out XBox can run emulators" site. It's a cool page nonetheless.
If you want homebrew console emulators, Dreamcast is the only hope unless someone figures out something out. Remember that the only reason the DC Emu scene got this far is because the emulators are so accessible (i.e., no mod chips), something Microsoft and Sony likely see as a mistake on Sega's part (because of the fact that the same principles can be used to pirate software) and won't let something like that happen in their hardware.

DC emu is the best scene right now. But for the future? I would say Xbox takes the cake. Why? Read on...
The Xbox uses an x86 processor, the modified Pentium III. And a similar, but modified and a lot more powerful, NV2A(similar to Geforce3 but different). And the best thing, no operating system. Popular emulators can be ported with ease, assembly or not. Its in a matter of weeks until the homebrew dev scene for the Xbox takes off. Hell I bet we'll see an N64 emulator running full speed on the Xbox soon enough.
Playstation 2 has a more complicated processor, harder to program for(not incredibly hard, I tried it before). But SNES-Station does look good.
Xbox emulation/homebrew scene looks bright for the future at the moment. But on the contrary, no development information just came out.
But looking at this; http://dev.xbox.com/dev/independent.htm, I'm just wondering is Microsoft going to support the homebrew scene?
