This did happen over time, but NHibernate was still really popular for a long time after EF came out, because of limitations it had.
I also don't think it was entirely because EF existed - over time, EF implemented more and more features that NHibernate had, yet at the same time it seemed like the NHibernate team had given up - there were no updates to it for a long time. It was the lack of updates that moved me to EF, but I always preferred NHibernate.
