I think it's a non-issue. PFRPG appealed most to people who didn't want to switch off of 3.x How a 5th edition is going to entice that crowd to switch systems after another five years of entrenchment and investment... I don't know. Sure, PF players may try 5e but I don't think we'll see a mass migration.
Part of Paizo's business model involves cross-product linking. They churn out a lot of very, very high-quality adventures. Well, who wants to switch to 5e when all that awesome adventure content won't be compatible? Not I. Who wants to give up that adventure content, the players' companions, the campaign settings material, just because 5e something something causes orgasms? Again, probably very few subscribers.
I think the "D&D" market fragmented and isn't going to reunite. 5e is no more a factor Paizo needs to think about than Ultimate Equipment was a factor WotC needs to think about.
