>The original plan was Japan to get Saturn in 95.
There is no evidence for this whatsoever. We literally have Japanese gaming magazines as well as US Magazines all pointing to Saturn releasing in 1994.
>It got moved up without SOA input or discussion after they were already committed to the 32x.
32X was proposed in 1994. Sega announced in 1993 that Saturn was going to release in Fall of 1994.

32X wouldn't be unveiled to the public until about Spring of 1994.

>If that were true, then Sega of America wouldn't have supported making the 32x.
Sega of America wasn't concerned about when Saturn would launch, they were concerned about price and were convinced that the 32X was a better idea. The idea wasn't for 32X to be a stopgap if Saturn didn't make it out in time, the idea was for 32X to be the only 32-bit system from Sega outside of Japan.
