1. MS wouldn't make enough money to support it.
2. Here is why there will never be a private server, use xbc/kai instead:
The Xbox version requires a connection through Xbox Live. With all the "discussion" about it, there's been no method of connection discovered so far. The only possible methods we have thought of are:
Create our own XBL server (M$ would sue us, so we can't do this)
Pay M$ to put the XBL server back up and link to us (M$ wouldn't want one of their games to link to an unofficial server, so we can't do this)
Alter the game's executable completely and strip all XBL data from it so it would connect directly, essentially turning PSOX into PSOGC running on an Xbox with no voice chat ability and no gamertags (nobody is smart enough to make these kinds of changes, so we can't do this)
They were referring to PSO Xbox, which was shut down in 08. If it would have happened, it would have happened.
tl;dr, it's illegal, MS won't support a private server, and it's too complex.
