PCSX2 is so entrenched in 32-bit x86 architecture that it has yet to be forked for or to include x64 PC support, let alone other platforms like Android, and there are detractors who claim it simply can't be done with the current code base.
So the main issue is that while a new emulator may be able to learn from the groundwork set up by the PCSX2 team and develop at a quicker pace, it would still need a near total rewrite to work on a different architecture (x64 or ARM).
Reminds me of how difficult it is for ZSNES to be ported to other platforms as it was written in x86 assembly.
