Isn't Sony providing the content though by producing 3D blockbuster games?

The business positions of Sony and Nintendo with regards to 3D are completely uncomparable, they are very different companies with very different objectives. Nintendo can afford to 'wait it out' on the 3D market where as Sony have wider implications than simply the success of SCE to consider.

You are right on the second part, but I'm not sure that Sony's content initiative is going to work here unless they're willing to cripple the Playstation brand again for several more years.

Well the PS3 is now 3D ready so the only extra cost comes in game development. Of course it may not work in the end but they do have tv broadcasters, movie studios and a lot of media attention behind them all helping to push 3D content and awareness. Also in their favour is the obvious difference between 3D and 2D which is much more profound than just a resolution upgrade ala SD to HD (which some people still claim not to be able to notice!) Again, everything will ulitmately come down to cost.
